Kane\, Friends of American Arts Curator of American Decorative Arts at the Yale University Art Gallery\, has been at Yale since receiving her M.A. from the University of Delaware\, Winterthur Program in Early American Culture in 1968. The topic of her Master’s thesis was the seventeenth-century joined furniture of Hartford County.  She received her Ph.D. in art history from Yale in 1987. She oversees collections of American decorative arts and design that range from the seventeenth century to the present.  Since 2002 she has directed the Rhode Island Furniture Archive at the Yale University Art Gallery that documents furniture making in Rhode Island from 1650 to 1830.
