ABOUT THE LECTURE
"Revisiting Highlights from the Museo de Arte de Ponce Collection: New Discoveries and Attributions"
by Iraida Rodríguez-Negrón, Chief Curator at the Museo de Arte de Ponce
Special exhibitions always offer a unique chance to revisit pieces in a collection, an experience that regular museum routines rarely provide. "The Sense of Beauty: Six Centuries of Painting from Museo de Arte de Ponce" gave curators a unique opportunity to tackle longstanding questions about the authorship, dating, and meaning of some works included in the exhibition. In this lecture, our guest speaker will share discoveries based on technical documentation and new research, some of which will be publicly unveiled for the first time, about beloved pieces from the Ponce collection.
