About
In the art world, few names carry as much influence as Christie’s. The famed auction house, founded in 18th-century London, has shaped the careers of many aspiring art historians, including Ariel Kline ’15.
“An internship at Christie’s during my senior year introduced me to the professional art world, a crucial experience that continues to serve my thinking as a young art historian,” she says.
From there, Kline earned an MA from Williams College and began a Ph.D. program in Art History at Princeton University. She also curated an exhibition depicting the history of the domestic pet that opened at the Clark Art Institute in 2018.

As she continues to acquire degrees and life experience, it’s clear that Kline’s time at MMC has had a profound effect on both her interests and her aspirations.
