POSTPONED: Cocktails & Conversation: Elizabeth Gorayeb / Wildenstein Plattner Institute

POSTPONED FROM JULY 7

Elizabeth Gorayeb, Executive Director of the Wildenstein Platter Institute will speak about the historical devaluing of women’s positions in the art market by upholding distinctions between craft and fine art. In the 20th century, women were largely excluded from the history of fine art, even when they have actively participated in both the practice of it and the market for it.

The event is free, but advance registration is requested. A new date and registration will be shared soon.

The presentation begins promptly at 6PM, so come early to experience the exhibition and purchase a drink or cocktail!
