Colloque : “The Orléans Collection : Tastemaking, Networks, and Legacy”.

Type : colloque
Date et horaire : 11 et 12 janvier 2019.
Lieu : New Orleans Museum of Art, La Nouvelle-Orléans.

The New Orleans Museum of Art and the Frick Collection’s Center for the History of Collecting will host a symposium in conjunction with The Orléans Collection exhibition, dedicated to the collecting and collection of Philippe II, Duc d’Orléans, (1674–1723) and on view at the New Orleans Museum of Art through 27 January 2019.

In the course of just two decades in the early eighteenth century, Philippe II d’Orléans amassed one of the most important collections of European paintings in the history of art, which he displayed in his Palais-Royal in Paris. This celebrated collection assembled over 500 masterpieces of European art and this landmark exhibition reunites a representative group of thirty-eight works to tell the complex story of the collection’s formation and character and the impact of the sales of the collection in London during the French Revolution, a watershed event in the history of collecting.

The symposium will consider Philippe d’Orléans’s taste and the impact the collection had for generations of collectors and artists, and an increasingly wider public throughout the eighteenth century. Subjects of interest include Philippe II’s patronage network, fellow collectors and trends in collecting in Paris, dealers and the art market in eighteenth-century Paris, connections with contemporary collections in the German principalities, the ‘Orleans Effect’ in Great Britain and later entrance into public collections.

Admission: $100 for adults | $75 NOMA members | $30 Graduate students with ID (please use a university email address). Hotel blocks have been reserved for symposium participants at the Hampton Inn on Saint Charles; register using the codeword NOMAFRICKSYMPOSIUM. Register here.
