About this Event
Connoisseurship used to be disdained as elitist. But now it's the cultural gatekeepers in museums and universities who think connoisseurship is passé. In popular culture and on social media people love the thrill of the chase and admire the art detectives who find lost masterpieces. Let's talk about how it fits into the new cultural landscape and how to develop a 'good eye'.
