 NORTON
DODGE, professor emeritus at St. Mary's College of Maryland, was trained at Cornell and Harvard as an economist in the field of
comparative economic systems with a focus on the Soviet Union. Beginning in 1962,
spurred by his interest in art and the cause of artistic freedom
in the USSR, he amassed more than 12,000 nonconformist art works
which he and his wife, Nancy, have donated to the Zimmerli Art
Museum at Rutgers University. He has organized and prepared many
exhibitions and catalogues, including his pioneering 1977 New
Art from the Soviet Union (Acropolis Books,
Washington, DC) to which he contributed and co-edited with
Alison Hilton and recently From Gulag to Glasnost:
Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union (Thames & Hudson and
Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers University), to which he contributed
and co-edited with Alia Rosenfeld.
