The Gothic Ivories Project and Research Forum at the Courtauld Institute of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum are teaming up to organise a two-day Gothic Ivories In Focus event on Friday 23 March 2012 and Saturday 24 March 2012.
Gothic ivory sculpture, surviving in large numbers in collections around the world, has thus far not received all the attention it deserves.
The Gothic Ivories Project, launched on the web in December 2010, seeks to promote research in the field by providing an online catalogue of surviving pieces carved in Western Europe from c. 1200 to the early 16th century.
This conference will celebrate the recent wave of new scholarship in the field and reassess the importance of these minute carvings for the study of medieval art.
Please note that each day requires a separate registration.
DAY 1: Friday 23 March 2012, Victoria and Albert Museum, Sackler Centre.
For the full programme and online booking, see here.
DAY 2: Saturday 24 march 2012, The Courtauld Institute of Art, Research Forum.
For the full programme and online booking, see here.
Contacts: Glyn Davies (g.davies@vam.ac.uk) and Catherine Yvard (catherine.yvard@courtauld.ac.uk).
