Considering
Provenance: Case Studies from the Ancient Americas
Wednesday, August 17, 5:30 p.m. (ET)
Stream it live
One core part of curatorial research is determining
provenance: tracking the history of works of art, from the current
moment back to their time and place of creation. In this free
webinar, Bryan R. Just, Peter Jay
Sharp, Class of 1952, Curator and Lecturer of Art of the Ancient
Americas, reviews a selection of provenance histories for works
from the Museum’s ancient Americas collections. Just considers how
such objects accrued meaning and formed complex, entangled
relationships within distinct historical contexts.
