On the occasion of the exhibition "Medardo Rosso. The Invention of Modern Sculpture", Megan R. Luke will focus on the relationship between photography and sculpture in the work of the two artists Medardo Rosso (1858–1928) and his contemporary Max Klinger (1957–1920).
Luke is a professor at the Institute of Art History at the Eberhard Karls University, Tübingen, and is one of the leading international scholars of modern art. Her research focuses on the history of abstraction, collage and reproductive media, with a particular interest in modern sculpture, exile studies and art historiography.
The lecture will be held in English in cooperation with the Department of Art History, University of Basel.
After the lecture, there will be an aperitif in the Art History Seminar.
