Provenance research can be one of the more complicated facets of compiling a catalogue raisonné. Although patience and serendipity have been responsible for many breakthroughs in the documentation of art object ownership, the application of other resources—such as staffing and ready access to primary records—can also help to resolve gaps in provenance. Even so, is it possible to balance the slow food movement-like nature of provenance research with the requirements of a fast-paced gallery environment?

Join us as Fiona Laugharn details the means, methods, and ethos of the Object Research & Writing team at Pace Gallery. Fiona will outline the development of the team, discuss workflows, and talk through their documentation standards for provenance research.

Registration is open for all CRSA members
