Corn is an American art and cultural historian. A scholar of art and photography from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries movements, she is the Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor emerita of art history at Stanford University.

Rockefeller's personal collection to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, which included a "a body of 110 paintings described as the museums’ “single most important gift of art.”[1] She served as acting director of the Stanford Art Museum now known as the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts. Prior to her position at Stanford she held the Samuel H. Kress Professorship at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, at the National Gallery of Art from 2006 to 2007.[2][3] Early life and educationShe attended Bates College in Lewiston, Maine for two years majoring in history from 1960 to 1962 where she met her future husband, Joe Corn. In 1962, she studied abroad, in London, England, at University of London where she enrolled in University College, the Slade School of Art and Birkbeck College, where began her studies in art history with Nikolaus Pevsner.[4] She said of the experience: I had grown up next door to the Congregational church where my father was the minister, so I was very comfortable in churches, in England I was surrounded by all these marvelous cathedrals, and I went with Pevsner on field trips to take measurements and to try to discover the little seams that marked the places where one work period stopped and another picked up. He was an inspiration to me, and I fell in love with things medieval and thought that would be what I would spend my life doing.[5]After returning from London, she spent a year in Paris as an au pair for a small local family to learn the French necessary for her continued studies in art history. She later attended New York University for her bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees.[1] Career in art{{external media|width=220px|align=right|headerimage=|video1=[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiSPoVG3NV8 Wanda Corn, "The Future of Museums"]–Stanford University}}After graduating from college, she taught at Washington Square College, the University of California, Berkeley, and Mills College.

Her show and book, The Great American Thing, "focused on specific artists such as Grant Wood, who remains an active focus of her research, and Andrew Wyeth. Her curations are known for "exhibitions that juxtapose material artifacts with art to establish context and richness of interpretation."[1] She pioneered the concept of "moderns": those who "began to claim the skyscrapers, billboards, brand-name products, factories, jazz, advertisements and even plumbing fixtures of the 1920s as identifiers of the new "Americanness."[4] Awards and honorsShe has received many awards and honors for her research, including the 2014 Distinguished Scholar Award from the College Arts Association.
