PAST EVENT

JUDGING ART: VETTING IN THE WORLD’S TOP MUSEUMS, ART FAIRS AND ART COLLECTIONS

TEFAF NY FallMonday, October 29, 2018 at 11 amTo present a truly exceptional selection of artwork, whether for a museum exhibition, an international art fair booth or a private collection, art experts must follow a strict vetting process which separates the artistic wheat from the chaff. They rely on excellent connoisseurship and at times state-of-the-art scientific tools to evaluate historical importance, condition, provenance, and various intangible factors to determine whether an artwork makes the cut. This panel of specialists reveals their own backstage stories about how certain outstanding objects were chosen and others eliminated and the difficult decision-making that is a part of the process.
