In this lecture, art historian and LAM Curatorial Fellow Jean Stern will discuss connoisseurship and what to look for when collecting art. This thoughtful and engaging introduction to the art of collecting will include looking at, examining, and assessing art from a collector’s point of view. Mr. Stern will share his experience as well as the basics of art collecting that can turn an art aficionado into a Connoisseur. A Connoisseur is defined as a person who is especially competent to pass critical judgments in art, particularly the visual arts.
