Registration required. Curious about the richly detailed facsimile copies of illuminated manuscripts in the library collection? Join us as we host Giovanni Scorcioni, facsimile edition expert and founder of FacsimileFinder.com, along with librarian Kiana Jones and artist George Cochrane. Together, they will discuss the history, production, and market of facsimiles, as well as use cases in the library, the classroom, the studio, and beyond. The Fine Arts Library and the Department of History of Art and Architecture present a pop-up series of virtual events exploring the art book and its many forms. Join us on Friday afternoons throughout the 2020-21 academic year as we hear from a range of invited speakers, who together with our librarians, will offer a look at FAL collections in context, whether monographs, ebooks, artists' books, facsimiles, or photographic albums. |
