As this collection of essays demonstrates, however, connoisseurship is not confined to the art world but rather practised in a variety of settings by elites and consumers alike. This volume presents a fresh approach to connoisseurship, creating a broad international dialogue about its meaning and application. It ranges across such diverse fields as consumer history, sociology and ethnography, earth science, forensic science and art history. It demonstrates that connoisseurship can be both intuitive and scientific, utilizing comparison and tied to measures of value and market dynamics"-- |

| Beschreibung: | "This book adopts a broad perspective on the concept of connoisseurship. It has its origin in a successful workshop on the theme, held at the Ashmolean Museum in 2015, in which speakers from thirteen different fields participated. [...] The contributions to this volume are derived, in part, from the 2015 workshop and build upon it." - Introduction, Seite 1 |
