Colloque : Cataloguer l’objet multiple. Sculpture, estampe, photographie

INHA within the Carte Blanche at the University of Poitiers
Auditorium Colbert Gallery
Paris, France
09/28/2015-09/30/2015, TBA
Sculpture, printmaking and photography are essentially multiple, often experiencing many prints as much as all three stem from a matrix that can be changed and give rise to significant variations. Complex objects, they hold both of the original work, interpretation or copying; in this they often confuse lovers and art historians attached to the study of other art forms. They ask specific questions of the rest. Their multi-purpose character does not mask their own characteristics.
Tool and fundamental genre of art history, the catalog has recently been a number of studies. While the paintings and drawings catalogs are the first to have benefited from this research, for "multiple", the field is still little discussed, because of the difficulties posed by the very nature of the objects concerned.

What are the first catalogs multiple objects, how were they treated these objects, compared to unique items, what were the first editors and first uses? What challenges and what choices for catalogs of this type, even today?

Paper: The Place of Discovery: A Symposium in Honor of James Watrous

Madison, WI, United States
10/08/2015-10/09/2015, 6pm-8pm
In honor of the eightieth anniversary of James Watrous, a noted expert on prints and drawings, joining the Art History faculty at UW, our department is pleased to announce a symposium, "Paper: The Place of Discovery." Our speakers will investigate the importance of works on paper to art historical investigation, demonstrating how fifteenth-century silverpoint drawings reveal creative process, how the prints of a jewelry designer indulge the geographic imaginary, how letter writing was vital to the artistic process, and how surviving sheets reveal Rembrandt's failures. In keeping with Professor Watrous’s dedication to making art historical knowledge accessible, our keynote speaker will present his path-breaking development of software to promote techniques of art historical analysis.

Thursday, October 8, 6pm:
"Computer Vision as Art Historical Investigation"
