Denver Art Museum Provenance Lecture December 5, 2023

The Denver Art Museum's Associate Provenance Researcher, Renée Albiston, led this talk, "Unpacking Modigliani: Discovering the Travels of Portrait de Femme" at the DAM.
In 2022, the Denver Art Museum established a dedicated provenance research department that spans object research from antiquities to the modern era, with staff knowledgeable in the areas of art law, restitution processes, and global impacts of Nazi-era works and other objects of cultural patrimony that are part of private and public collections. Museums worldwide struggle with resources that make this research possible, and the DAM is leading the way in prioritizing provenance for collections throughout every curatorial department.
With Renée’s expertise in Nazi-era wartime looting, you’ll gain insight into bad actors involved in WW II art thefts and those responsible for returning objects to their rightful owners by the end of the war. Then learn about the tools available to provenance researchers in establishing clear ownership throughout the lifetime of an object while following a Modigliani work from creation to its final home at the Denver Art Museum.

This was very enjoyable. Presentation material was so worth it. Speaker vey engaging. (I know you’re not a professional speaker but you probably had 10 ums and ahhs per minute. That’s a lot over an hours time. Please try to just be silent when you want to say um or ah. It is very distracting to some of us )
