After graduating from Wellesley in 1962, she attended Harvard, whose Department of Fine Arts (now Department of History of Art and Architecture) had a strong tradition of the intensive analysis of actual art objects under the aegis of the Fogg Museum. Krauss wrote her dissertation on the work of David Smith, whose recent death had rendered him an acceptable dissertation subject in Harvard's view. Krauss received her Ph.D. in 1969. The dissertation was published as Terminal Iron Works in 1971.
