Pierre-Adrien Graillon, Hermit Crab, 1848, Detroit Institute of Arts.
In this webinar, Laure de Margerie will discuss the process of documenting French sculpture (1500–1960) in American public collections, how her previous professional experiences shaped the scope of the project, the unique challenges of documenting sculpture, and how cultural differences between France and the United States influence distinct national attitudes towards catalogues raisonnés. Laure will also explain why the Census is not an end in itself but rather a starting point.
