Colpitt, who recently retired from her position as the Deedie Potter Rose Chair of Art History, Texan Christian University School of Art was working on a third book about minimalism and formalist perspectives—the subject of her expertise. In addition to her MA in Humanities from the University of Tulsa (TU) and a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California (where she taught for many years), Colpitt had also earned a BFA from TU which served her well in understanding and describing the nuances of the artistic process with her subjects, many with whom she became close friends including LA artists Donald Judd, Ed Moses, Jim Hayward and Edith Baum Hudson."
