Recent research interests have revolved around the life and career of the Victorian painter Sir John Everett Millais (1829-1896) and his monograph on that artist for Phaidon Press Ltd. will be published in 2011. In addition, he co-curated the major exhibition on Millais at Tate Britain, London, the National Gallery of British Art, with Alison Smith, Senior Curator of Paintings, which traveled to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, followed by venues in Fukuoka and Tokyo, Japan. The exhibition was seen by in excess of 660,000 visitors.

The exhibition will open in London in the fall of 2012 and travel to a number of international venues including the Pushkin in Moscow. In addition, he is the lead contributor to a monograph on the contemporary American artist, Stephen Hannock, published by Hudson Hills Press in the summer of 2009.
