Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Curious about connoisseurship and how collections come to be? Hear how nineteenth-century collectors gravitated to drawings and what it took then, and takes now, to build a collection.

Lecturer Petra ten-Doesschate Chu teaches art history at Seton Hall University. She is a specialist in nineteenth-century art history and founder and managing editor of www.19thc-artworldwide.org, among the first electronic journals of art history.

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Expanding the Boundaries: Selected Drawings from the Yvonne and Gabriel P. Weisberg Collection.
