Dear Sirs,
Please post the following call for posters as soon as convenient
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for posters for the International Conference: “Technology & Practice: Studying the European Visual Arts 1800-1850: Paintings, Sculpture, Interiors and art on Paper”.
This call for posters is for a two-day Technical Art History conference to be held by the Centre for Art Technological Studies and Conservation – CATS - at the National Museum of Denmark on 15 – 16 June 2016.
The conference will be focusing on artists’ techniques and materials, written sources, conservation science, the history of science and technology, history of trade, and innovation of artists’ materials during the first half of the 19th
century. In the preceding several decades a succession of art academies emerged throughout Europe, and another focal point of the conference will be the impact of these institutions on a new generation of artists, examining how this manifested itself in their
Paintings, Sculpture, Interiors and Art on Paper.
The conference language will be English, and the deadline for the poster abstract is 16th of May 2016.
Further details of the conference programme, registration and additional practical information is available on the website
