About Lee Sandstead :

Lee Sandstead has been described as the world's most fired-up art historian. As host of the Travel Channel's Emmy-Nominated show "Art Attack", his passion for art is contagious! And of all the things that you can say about him, the most important is that he loves art.

With "the help of a beautiful French woman," he discovered art in his early 20s, and ever since, he has been on one amazing art adventure after another.

Lee has developed a national reputation as an exciting and dramatic speaker and has expressed his passion for art at over 50 major institutions including: Harvard, Yale, New York University and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

He is also one of America's most-celebrated photographers of art, and his photography has been published in countless books and publications, including: The New York Times, Fortune, Ms., Preservation Magazine; and Style 1900.
 
Most recently, his collection of photography of over 1,300 American mausoleums is being donated to Columbia University's architecture library. This collection shows that Lee has literally traveled where no other art historian has traveled before.

Lee taught art history at Montclair State University from 2001-2007.  Currently, he recently lead a team to establish art-history and fine-arts programs for a small college in Southern Virginia.  He is author of the forthcoming book on American master-sculptor Evelyn Beatrice Longman (1874-1954).

Although a resident of NYC for the past seven years, Mr. Sandstead now resides in Southern Virginia, actively engaging in art history and art-historical photography.
