On the occasion of its 140th anniversary (1884\u20132024) and the upcoming exhibition of Dutch painting in the Klovi\u0107evi dvori Gallery, the Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts is pleased to announce the call for papers for the conference Lasting Possessions: Old Master Collections Across Provenance Research and Beyond<\/em>, to be held in Zagreb (Croatia) on 13 and 14 December 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organised within the framework of the research project Provenance Research on Artwork in Zagreb Collections<\/em> (Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters, Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts), funded by the Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ IP-2020-02-1356), the conference aims to bring together scholars and museum professionals involved in the research, preservation and presentation of Old Master collections in the broadest sense (painting, sculpture, prints), both public and private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the wake of the earthquakes that struck Zagreb in 2020, the immediate closure of the majority of public collections has placed many museums in a position where they have had to navigate unprecedented challenges related to reconstruction, repair and conservation. Concurrently, while preparing new permanent displays, these exceptional circumstances have afforded the chance to reconsider the potential of research, presentation and interpretation of artwork in permanent collections, which have heretofore been largely confined to matters of style. However, the longevity of individual works of art has typically been shaped by complex and evolving social forces, which can only be fully elucidated through a rigorous integration of provenance research, art historical analysis, and museum practice. It is imperative that the new challenges of dealing with changes of ownership and (dis)possession, which are primarily addressed by provenance research, are widely implemented into museum practice, either in the context of reconstructing a museum object\u2019s history, or in relation to the art market and the history of collecting<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this in mind, we welcome paper proposals from scholars and museum professionals dealing with European art from the 13th<\/sup> to the early 20th<\/sup> century addressing the following (but not exclusive) topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please send a proposal for a 15-minute presentation in English, including title, abstract (up to 250 words) and a short CV (up to 100 words) in a single file to lasting.possessions.conference@gmail.com by 10 November 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Successful applicants will be notified by 15 November 2024. The final programme will be communicated by the end of November 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The conference will be held in person and speakers are expected to present their papers on site.
