Collecting Impressions: Six Centuries of Print Connoisseurship Part I

Center for Collecting Antony Griffiths, Former Keeper, Department of Prints and Drawings, British Museum, presents the keynote in a series of four lectures on the history of collecting prints co-organized by the Center for the History of Collecting and The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Department of Drawings and Prints. The series is sponsored by the IFPDA foundation and takes place on four consecutive Wednesdays during Print Month: October 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th at 12 pm. The Print Collector and the Printseller In recent years much has been written about print collectors but very little about printsellers. Yet the two depend on each other. No dealer can operate without customers, and no-one can collect without someone to buy from. This talk will explore the relationship of the two over the past five centuries, and trace the development of the print trade during this period. It concludes with some personal reminiscences about the changes seen over the past half-century. Image: Edgar Degas, The Collector of Prints, 1866. New… Join Us: Free, click ”Sign Up” to register.

Collecting Impressions: Six Centuries of Print Connoisseurship Part II

Center for Collecting Karen Bowen, Independent Scholar, Antwerp Booksellers and the International Distribution of Prints from Antwerp in the Early Seventeenth Century While individual prints reveal much about what was produced and collected in the past, it is far more difficult to trace the means by which prints from diverse, distant places reached local printsellers and their clients in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In particular, it is unknown how orders for prints were placed, in what quantities and via which routes images they were distributed, and the price paid for them. Using the remarkably extensive business accounts of the internationally successful Plantin-Moretus Press of Antwerp, Karen will reveal how the press helped local print publishers complete their independent transactions, not least by selling thousands of prints to their own international network of clients who also wished to profit from the immense demand for renowned prints from Antwerp. Co-organized by the Center for the History of Collecting… Join Us: Free, click ”Sign Up” to register. Questions: center@frick.org. Audience: Adults. College & Graduate Students. Young Professionals.

Technical Revolutions and Art History Part I

Online Events Historically, science and the humanities were not considered two separate disciplines: the separation of these two branches of knowledge developed only in the modern era. For art historians in the twenty-first century, this divide is only widening as some scholars embrace technological advances while others remain unconvinced that computational techniques and tools can bring meaningful changes to the field. Like the previous symposium “Searching Through Seeing: Optimizing Computer Vision Technology for the Arts” hosted by the Library in 2018, this four-part event seeks to encourage art historians to connect with the computer sciences by exploring the role that technology has played in the development of the field of art history and providing an opportunity for conversation and the exchange of ideas. The first session will be held on Thursday, October 15 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EDT. Professor Jessica Riskin of Stanford University will deliver a keynote lecture that will set the stage for a day of… Join Us: Free, click ”Sign Up” to register. Audience: Adults.
