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.

TIAMSA Conference 2021 - Workshops, May, June, July
TIAMSA 2021 Conference: The Art Market and the Museum (online: University of Edinburgh / National Galleries of Scotland, 6 / 7 May, 3 June, 15 / 16 July 2021)
TIAMSA cordially invites you to its 2021 conference whose theme is the historic and contemporary intersections of the art market and museums. The conference will consider how art market stakeholders, including art dealers, collectors and patrons have, both historically and in more recent years, shaped museum collections and influenced exhibition practices.
This conference seeks to bridge the gap between academic study, the global art market, and professional museum practice, while providing inspiration for attendees to explore new research pathways. The interdisciplinary approach of the program encourages creative, cross-network conversations and the development of new approaches and actionable practices surrounding the intersection of the art market, the museums and academia. The conference will offer a unique opportunity for scholars, students, institutional professionals and commercial contributors from around the world to meet and tackle some of the most pressing questions facing the art and cultural sectors today.
