Nadine Orenstein (born 1961) is an American art historian and curator currently serving as the Drue Heinz Curator in Charge of the Department of Drawings and Prints at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.[1] She received her Ph.D. from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University in 1992, with a dissertation on "Hendrick Hondius and the Business of Prints in Seventeenth-Century Holland", and was mentored in her early career by Egbert Haverkamp-Begemann.[2]
Her father is French, and she often traveled in Europe during her childhood, often visiting museums as a child. She studied in the Netherlands while a student and further became interested in prints during that time.[3]
