The third annual Michael and Juliet Rubenstein Lecture on Connoisseurship, presented by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Join art historian Gloria Groom for a closer look at artworks from Monet’s extraordinarily long career to consider works that are incontestably great—and others, where his ambition, technique, and composition fall short of that adjective. This talk also considers other factors that come into connoisseurship, including historical context, tastes of the times, and, potentially most importantly, the market.
Gloria Groom, Chair and Winton Green Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture of Europe, The Art Institute of Chicago
Free with The Met Museum admission, though advance registration is recommended.
