Issues in Connoisseurship for Collectors of Asian Art Asia Week San Francisco Bay Area Annual Symposium

1:30 pm–5:30 pm

In conjunction with Asia Week San Francisco Bay Area (Asia WeekSFBA)
and jointly sponsored by NanHai Art, Christie’s, and Asia
Society Northern California, the 2016 Asia Week- SFBA Symposium
brings together connoisseurs, curators, and scholars, for an informative
and interactive discussion on the issues in connoisseurship for
collectors of Asian Art.
This two-panel symposium is designed to examine connoisseurship, a
central yet complicated field from a practical perspective. Covering a
wide range of historical and geographical contexts, panelists will use
a series of case studies to discuss and share their insights on issues of
authenticity, attribution, and quality, in paintings and other works
of art. In addition, the symposium will also discuss the scope and
effectiveness of connoisseurship, and the influences of both academic
trends and technology development towards its practice.
