Session : New Light on the Workshop : Display, Self-Fashioning, and Self-Promotion in the Early Modern Period

By investigating the display and the material history of early modern artists’ workshops, this session aims to problematize models for the study of artists’ identity, self-promotion, and self-fashioning. What was on display in the workshop? How was the display of sketches, models, finished works, or artistic collections articulated within the working space ? How were these objects related to the artists’ work or taste, and how did objects on display play a role in marketing/self-fashioning strategies? Was the display dynamic in relation to particular occasions (e.g. visits to studios)? How did artists stage themselves, and to what extent was the materiality of their artistic practice displayed or concealed ? How were the architecture and urban location of workshops related to artists’ self-positioning within the art market and within society ? Papers may explore diverse geographical areas and investigate visual evidence, inventories, descriptions of workshops, guidebooks, narratives of visits to studios, and other sources.
