Webinar

This spring, the Albright-Knox is presenting a member-exclusive online series of conversations with Chief Curator Cathleen Chaffee. This first lecture in the series surveys the collecting and display of art within the domestic sphere from the Ancient world to the aristocratic realm of the 19th century. We will look at a wide range of examples, from painted décor and cabinets of curiosity to the aristocratic collections that were key foundations of the modern museum. Art’s historic (and historically complicated) interconnection with the home forms the central topic of this first lecture.

About the Series

This spring, the Albright-Knox is presenting a member-exclusive online series of conversations with Chief Curator Cathleen Chaffee. At a moment when many of us are spending an unprecedented amount of time at home, uncover the way art has been lived with in domestic spaces, how museums have evolved from such private spaces and collections, and how modern artists have provocatively evoked the home or re-created domestic space as part of their work. Each hour-long lecture will be broadcast live, and you will have the opportunity to submit questions for discussion at the end. Learn More and View Schedule
