Panel Details
The panel will investigate the network of painters carrying out independent work without the constraints of a commission, the collectors driving up the demand, and the dealers sustaining this market.
They will touch on the dozens of works in the exhibition drawn from international private collections and public institutions in the United States: portraits, landscapes, still life works, and paintings of mythological, religious and profane subjects.
