Her books include The Lithographs of James McNeill Whistler (general editor and co-author with Nesta Spink; 2 vols., The Art Institute of Chicago, 1998); Watercolors by Winslow Homer: The Color of Light (with Kristi Dahm; The Art Institute of Chicago, 2008); and John Marin’s Watercolors: A Medium for Modernism (with Kristi Dahm; The Art Institute of Chicago, 2011). She has published extensively and organized numerous exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago; her most recent exhibition was Undressed: The Fashion of Privacy. Tedeschi is a member of the Association of Art Museum Directors. She was a 2012 Fellow at the Center for Curatorial Leadership and has served as president of the Print Council of America (2009–13) and on the board of the Association of Art Museum Curators (2015–16).
