Join the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art, Museum für Asiatische Kunst / Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, and The British Library on October 6-7 from 9 am-12 pm EDT daily for Translocation of South Asian Art: Provenance and Documentation. This program is the fifth installment in the series Hidden Networks: Trade in Asian Art.
From the seventeenth century onward, Western visitors to the South Asian subcontinent were actively acquiring as well as commissioning works of art for private and public collections. A complex network of individuals and institutions encouraged collecting and facilitated the strategic movement of art out of South Asia. In our contemporary moment, histories of South Asian objects in museum collections are under increasing scrutiny, and questions about the art market and museum ethics are at the forefront of people’s minds. While this webinar engages with those important issues, it primarily focuses on documenting the provenance and circulation of South Asian art before 1970 as a way to better understand and reckon with the collections that exist today. Divided into two half-day sessions, this webinar will present scholarly talks and discussions that provide an overview of the field of South Asian provenance research and highlight important resources.
