Join us for a two-day colloquium, titled “The Gilded Collector: Copies, Casts, Fabrications and the Formation of American Taste (c. 1870-1940)"
Copies and imitations of ancient and medieval artifacts hold a curious place in the history of collecting. Fabricated from a variety of motives, distributed through diverse channels, and acquired for various purposes, they have been disdained by the arbiters of élite taste, ignored by the general public, and gleefully exposed by scholars. But casts and replicas have always attracted a certain type of collector undeterred by popular indifference and deaf to the Siren song of authenticity. This colloquium will explore the rise and fall in American esteem of copies and imitations of European antiquities during the seventy-five-year period between the end of the American Civil War and the outbreak of World War II, a crucible in the formation of American taste.
Friday, May 2: 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Saturday, May 3: 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
