Les 10-11 novembre 2017 aura lieu au Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (Hartford, Connecticut, USA) un colloque sur le grand collectionneur américain John Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913): "Morgan: Mind of the Collector".J. Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) spent over twenty years travelling the globe to amass the largest collection of art and cultural artifacts of his time. Estimated to have exceeded 20,000 works of art, Morgan’s collections represent a broad historical and geographic range of art and cultural artifacts. Acting on his father’s wishes, J.P. Morgan’s son, Jack, donated more than 1,350 works collected by his father to the Wadsworth Atheneum in his native Hartford.  In fall 2017, the Wadsworth Atheneum will mark the centennial anniversary of Morgan’s  gift and its historical impact with an exhibition, Morgan: Mind of the Collector.The Wadsworth Atheneum will host an international symposium in conjunction with the exhibition to reexamine and showcase the latest research about Morgan’s collection and how he shaped the identity of the collector in the modern age.ProgrammeVendredi, 10 novembre 201712h00-13h15: Accueil13h15-13h45: Neil Harris (University of Chicago), Morgan the CollectorSession 1: Morgan and the Biblical Lands (chair, Steven Tinney, University of Pennsylvania) 13h45-14h15: Yelena Rakic (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), Discovering the Ancient Near East 14h15-14h45: Lyle Humphrey (North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh), Morgan in Egypt 14h45-15h15: John Bidwell (Morgan Library &#38; Museum, New York), Morgan’s Bibles 15h15-15h30: Discussion15h30-15h45: PauseSession 2: The Romance of History (chair, Christine Brennan, Metropolitan Museum of Art) 15h45-16h15: Christine Brennan (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), Morgan and Medieval Art 16h15-16h45: Roger Wieck (Morgan Library &#38; Museum, New York), Morgan and Manuscripts 16h45-17h15: Discussion17h15: Exhibition Viewing and Reception18h30: Speakers DinnerSamedi, 11 novembreSession 3: Building a Beautiful Life (chair, Colin Bailey, Director, Morgan Library &#38; Museum) 10h00-10h30: Wolfram Koeppe (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), Gold and Garnets: A Love of Precious Objects 10h30-11h00: Linda Roth (Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford), Prince’s Gate, London 11h00-11h30: Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen (Metropolitan Museum of Art), New YorkFrom Gilded Age Interior to Renaissance Palazzo: Morgan’s New York House 11h30-11h50: Discussion12h00-13h00 : LunchSession 4: The Politics of Collecting: The Global Network (chair, Inge Reist, Center for the History of Collecting at the Frick) 13h00-13h30: Catherine Scallen (Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland), Turning to the Experts 13h30-14h00: Jennifer Tonkovich (Morgan Library &#38; Museum, New York), Morgan’s experts and dealers in London and Europe 14h00-14h30: Barbara Pezzini (National Gallery, London), Collecting British Paintings 14h30-15h00: Discussion15h00-15h15: BreakSession 5: Crafting a Legacy (chair, Jennifer Tonkovich, Morgan Library &#38; Museum, New York) 15h15-15h45: Charlotte Vignon (Frick Collection, New York), Morgan and Duveen: The Formation and Dispersal of a Collection 15h45-16h15: Jo Briggs (Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore), Morgan and His Fellow American Collectors 16h15-17h00: Discussion and Concluding Remarks17h00-19h00: Reception and Exhibition ViewingPour s'inscrire ou pour plus d'informations : faculty@wadsworthatheneum.org
