Additional information
On this tour, Hannah Gadway ’25 will explore the intersection of art and law, particularly how the law has served to protect the interests of artists, art, and collectors. Touching on subjects from “art as evidence” to Nazi-owned art to the legal process involved in giving art to a museum, Gadway will examine three works: James Abbott McNeill Whistler’s painting Nocturne in Blue and Silver (c. 1871–72), the Japanese sculpture Prince Shōtoku at Age Two (Kamakura period, datable to about 1292), and Vincent Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait Dedicated to Paul Gauguin (1888).
