Conf: Le collezioni degli artisti in Italia (Rome, 22 Jun 17)

Published on by Veronika Korbei

Le collezioni degli artisti in Italia: trasformazioni e continuità di un fenomeno sociale tra Cinquecento e Settecento

The collections of artists in Italy: transformations and continuity of a social phenomenon between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries

BSR British School at Rome, via Antonio Gramsci, 61, 22.06.2017

Organized by Francesca Parrilla and Matteo Borchia in collaboration with The British School at Rome (BSR) and the initiative of the Rome Art History Network (RAHN).

 One of the most fascinating aspects of collecting in the modern age concerns collections assembled by artists. It presents the artist in the special role of collector and creates a rather privileged view onto the the collector’s personality and social role. In the dwellings, shops and studios, together with the goods related to the practice of the craft, exhibitions are presented in accordance with valid design criteria, in addition to pieces of antiquity and objects of various nature. It is not always an arbitrary collection, but generally the possession of these works reflects a precise collector’s will, the result of personal pride, pure commercial speculation or the desire to rank at a higher level on the social scale.

The conference intends to address the many aspects of a delicate and problematic theme and provide the opportunity for a valid comparison between epochs and contexts from a social point of view. The emergence of differences and analogies in the overall Italian landscape will allow us to observe the various profiles taken by the artists (from connoisseur to antiquarian, from intellect to merchant).

CONF: Annual Third Year Postgraduate Symposium (London, 8-9 Jun 17)

Published on by Art Market Studies

London, Kenneth Clark Lecture Theatre
The Courtauld Institute of Art
Somerset House, Strand, June 8 – 09, 2017
Registration deadline: Jun 7, 2017

The Courtauld’s New Research Symposium 2017 is a platform for third-year PhD candidates to present and exchange their research to their peers, the wider scholarly community and the public. Ranging from medieval England to contemporary Bosnia-Herzegovina via Renaissance Florence the conference will bring questions concerning materiality, identity and institutions to bear on art and politics. Whether performing a close analysis of a late-fifteenth-century altarpiece frame or a Marxist reading of photographic technologies after the 2008 financial crisis, what are the pressing methodological questions for the discipline? This conference provides a place to consider how the cohort has been collectively thinking through critical challenges and new directions for the History of Art.

Including a keynote by Lynda Nead (Pevsner Professor of History of Art, Birkbeck, University of London)

Free, all welcome, but booking required:

CONF.: Heritage and Revolution: First as Tragedy, Then as Farce (Cambridge, 6 May 17)

Cambridge/UK, May 6, 2017
Registration deadline: May 1, 2017

From the French Revolution in the eighteenth century, to the communist revolutions in twentieth century Russia and China to the Arab Spring in the twenty-first century, heritage has been in the crosshairs of aspirations to change and utopian constructions of possible futures. This research seminar will explore the unique and complex relationship between cultural heritage and revolutions, two concepts with seemingly opposed temporal connotations.

CONF: Max J. Friedländer (Amsterdam, 8 Jun 17)

Published on by Art Market Studies

Max J. Friedländer (1867-1958):
art-historian, museum director, connoisseur

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, June 8, 2017
Registration deadline: Jun 5, 2017

Max J. Friedländer (1867-1958)

The 5th of June 2017 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Max J. Friedländer (1867-1958). This milestone offers an excellent opportunity to reflect on the legacy of this still well-esteemed art historian.
Friedländer was appointed director of the Kupferstichkabinett in 1908, then subdirector of the Gemäldegalerie in 1912 and finally director of the latter in 1929. Under the energetic leadership of Wilhelm Bode, general director of the Berlin museums, Friedländer developed into a recognised connoisseur and author of over eight hundred publications, of which Die Altniederländische Malerei (Early Netherlandish Painting) and Von Kunst und Kennerschaft (On Art and Connoisseurship) are the best known.

In the history of art history Friedländer is primarily associated with ”connoisseurship”, a competence which he considered most important. According to Friedländer, connoisseurship embodies a subjective form of scholarship and can only be gained by practice. The lack of a theoretical underpinning and the impossibility of factual verification, however, gradually led to the decline of connoisseurship as a scholarly method, especially in the academic field.
