Art Study Center Seminar: Versos and Marks—Exploring the Past of Artworks

December 5 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

Join curatorial assistant Casey Monahan to explore how investigating the verso (reverse side) of an artwork can sometimes help construct the history and provenance of a work. Monahan will share how details such as labels, numbers, and other elements that are normally “unseen” are essential for curators as they research and catalogue works in the collections.

Free admission, but registration is required. You can register by clicking on the event on this form, beginning Tuesday, November 25.

Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the program to allow sufficient time to sign in at the Art Study Center reception desk (Level 4), and be prepared to present a photo ID. Late seating is not permitted. All coats and bags must be placed in a locker prior to entering the study room, with lockers available on the Lower Level, Level 1, and Level 4. Children age 14 and older are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.
