Additional information
Join curatorial assistant Casey Monahan to explore how investigating the verso (reverse side) of a painting can sometimes help construct the history and provenance of a work. Monahan will share how details such as labels, numbers, and other elements that are normally “unseen” are essential for curators as they research and catalogue works in the collections.
Led by:
Casey Monahan, Cunningham Senior Curatorial Assistant for the Collection, Division of European and American Art
