Unpacking Provenance | A Kakiemon Model of an Elephant
In this webinar, a panel of four experts discuss a Kakiemon model of an elephant from the collections of the NMAA, focusing on provenance research approaches and resources. Manufactured in seventeenth-century Japan, this porcelain elephant likely arrived in Europe as cargo on a Dutch East India Company trading vessel. In examining this object, panelists will articulate research questions, brainstorm approaches, and discuss methods to track down answers about both the object’s journey and the life histories of the individuals who encountered it.
Art Market Module field trip to London 2023
Students on the 2nd year undergraduate module 'ARTF2069 The Art Market: Moments, Methodologies and Meanings' were on an art market field trip this week (3rd November). We had a walking tour of the spaces of the art market of the 18th and 19th century, around Pall Mall, St. James's and Bond Street. As well as visits to some leading art dealers such as Philip Mould & Co. and Colnaghi, and of course the auction houses of Christie's and Sotheby's. Here's one of the two student groups on the field trip outside of Christie's.
