BIO

Andrew Stewart was educated at St. Catharine's College, Cambridge, and the British Schools of Archaeology at Athens and Rome. He has taught at Cambridge, at Otago University in New Zealand, and at Columbia in addition to Berkeley, where he joined the faculty in 1979. At Berkeley, he is Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Art and Archaeology in the Departments of History of Art and Classics, Nicholas C. Petris Professor of Greek Studies, and Curator of Mediterranean Archaeology at the Hearst Museum of Anthropology. A member of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut, he has received fellowships and grants from the Guggenheim and Getty Foundations, and from the American Council of Learned Societies;in 2009 he received U.C. Berkeley's Distinguished Teaching Award.

He specializes in Greek art, particularly sculpture, and currently is publishing the Hellenistic sculpture from the Athenian Agora. His interests include the body in art and thought; portraiture and personhood in ancient Greece; Greek and Roman attitudes to and writing on Greek art; the Greeks in the East before and after Alexander; and the Renaissance and later reception of ancient sculpture. He has excavated at Knossos in Crete, at Long Beach Maori settlement in New Zealand, and from 1986-2006 at the Phoenician, Israelite, Persian, Greek, and Roman port of Dor in Israel. He spends what little free time he has sailing on San Francisco Bay, playing with his twin granddaughters Giselle and Sofia, and ministering to his wife Darlis's menagerie of cats.
