These include Gaston Lachaise- Portrait Sculpture, Then and Now- American Portraits of the Past Century from the Collection of the National Portrait Gallery, and her last exhibition at the Portrait Gallery was Capital Portraits- Treasures from Washington Private Collections, co-curated with Ellen Miles. Her book Alice Neel's Women, served as the basis for the exhibition she organized for the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Dr. Carr also served as the chief curator at the Akron Art Museum in Ohio from 1978 through 1983 and has lectured extensively in the United States as well as in Japan, Korea, Great Britain and Singapore.
One of the brightest facets of this book, as a work of documentation on the nineteenth century, is how thoroughly Carr has delved into archives and libraries to bring to light the life and world of this dynamic woman of the Gilded Age. [...] With an admirable investment in facts and details that can only be woven seamlessly together by the most indefatigable of researchers, Carr stitches into a structure of annual exhibitions the many diverse activities, interests, and friendships which Sara Hallowell pursued throughout her long and dynamic life, creating a vivid picture of a true pioneer in the curatorial field. - Taylor L.
