Her principal publications are Paris : An Open-Air Pantheon. The History of Monuments to Great Men , Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse , Liberty: the French-American Statue in Art and History , and two edited volumes, Nationalism and French Visual Culture, 1870-1914 , co-edited with Neil McWilliam, and The French Academy: Classicism and its Antagonists .

Her articles and reviews have appeared in The Art Bulletin , the inaugural volume of the Van Gogh Studies, the Revue du Louvre , the Bulletin des Monuments Historiques , Sculpture Journal , the Bulletin des Hautes Études de Bretagne , and other journals as well as published colloquia. She has collaborated on many exhibitions, such as The Colour of Sculpture , an exhibition for the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam . Among the institutions that have recently supported her research are the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Deutschesforum für Kunstgeschichte, Paris , and the Centre André Chastel, Paris-Sorbonne.

Professor Hargrove spoke at the twentieth anniversary of the Orsay Museum , " Beyond identity: international perspectives on the public monument." She has participated in numerous symposia and conferences and contributed to festschrifts and anthologies. She is on the scientific committee for the Revue de l'Art and has been invited in the fall of 2008 to the round table on the journal's past and future. She serves on the editorial board of Studiolo , the journal of the French Academy in Rome . In the spring of 2009 she will be the invited scholar for the University of Amsterdam and the Van Gogh Museum .

Professor Hargrove encourages students toward an interdisciplinary theoretical model that amplifies the historical context. Her graduate students research and write about a wide range of media, ranging from painting and sculpture to the decorative arts and artifacts of material culture.
