Art and Materiality at The Getty Center<\/h1>\n

\"\"ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM<\/strong>
\nIn the past decade, the increased attention to the art object and its materiality has enhanced the study of art history, opening new avenues of investigation. Combined with more historical methodologies, the focus on materiality offers profound insights into the artworks\u2019 meanings. Artists across space and time have infused materials with not only ritual and symbolic significance but also social, political, and economic functions. Art historians, increasingly in collaboration with conservators and scientists, are gaining insight into both the process of art-making, from raw material to finished object (the cha\u00eene op\u00e9ratoire), and the strategic deployment of materials for their aesthetic qualities and their power to signify.
\nThis two-day symposium will investigate the materiality of artworks and raise questions about procurement, trade, value, manufacturing, and the accumulation of new meanings as objects move between cultures.<\/p>\n
