This two-day symposium examines the forces that motivated Italian collectors and patrons of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early seventeenth centuries to support artists and encourage innovative ideas that today are recognized as having transformed the artist’s status from craftsman to celebrity. Keynote speaker Inge Reist, Director Emerita of the Center for the History of Collecting, and ten international scholars will also explore the role of patrician collectors, scholars, artists, courtesans, and other agents of change in the development of the modern art market.

Presentations are divided into four thematic panels that interpret works of art of all time periods from a breadth of perspectives. Topics covered include lesser known historic portraits in New York collections, performance art, time-based media, and historic print cultures. Friday afternoon’s event takes place at the Institute of Fine Arts; the symposium continues on Saturday morning at The Frick Collection.
