"Should I Buy That?"
|
A Conservator's Perspective on Purchasing Works on Paper
Presented by Jamye Jamison, ICA Paper Conservator
Works on paper are often matted and framed, obscuring the edges and making the object itself somewhat inaccessible. This means it is even more important for the buyer to thoroughly investigate an object they are considering for purchase.
- What are your rights as a buyer when trying to gather more information?
- What are your options for assessing an object when you are purchasing from a remote seller?
- How might the information you gather affect your decision to purchase a print or drawing?
- What types of damage can you reasonably expect a conservator to be able to fix?
This talk will answer the above questions with case studies and treatment examples along with advice on how to protect your collection. An open Q&A will follow.
When: Wednesday March 18, at 6:30 PM
Where: Cleveland Museum of Art, Lecture Hall

Notes on Eadweard from CIFF's website:
 How do you capture a moment? Kyle Rideout's biopic EADWEARD shows how this question becomes an obsession of one of the forefathers of motion pictures, Eadweard Muybridge.
In 1872, Muybridge reveals his first study of animal locomotion: a series of photos depicting the movements of a running horse that no human eye had ever seen. "This is life," he explains to his admiring audience. But Muybridge wants to know more. His passion compels Flora, a sultry 21-year-old divorcée, to move with Muybridge from California to Pennsylvania, where he has secured $50,000 to take more pictures.
Although Muybridge considers his work to be science, not art, the resulting photographic sequences-of a woman jumping over a stool, a man walking a goat, two men boxing, and so on-are undeniably beautiful. Still, as Muybridge amasses thousands of images depicting life, his own life with Flora begins to unravel. In this impressive first film, Rideout uses time-lapse photography, jump cuts, and slow motion to recreate the magic of Muybridge's photography. - E.B.
