“Degrees of Authenticity: unfinished, damaged, forged, or altered paintings from Whistler and Ryder to Rothko and Wyeth (and more)”

Dr. Joyce Hill Stoner will be giving a lecture covering restoration choices, copies, alterations, light damage and loss to paintings. This should be a fascinating discussion about broad topics that affect conservation decisions for a wide range of objects. Dr. Stoner is known for her long association with the Winterthur art conservation program both as a teacher and as director as well as her prolific talents as an author and advocate for the field of conservation.
