Conference: The Art Press in the Twentieth Century

Date: 1st February 2013
Location: Sotheby’s Insitute of Art, London, United Kingdom

A one-day conference on the mediation of art history, criticism and the
art market in magazines and journals organised by The Burlington
Magazine and Sotheby’s Institute of Art on 1st February 2013

The Burlington Magazine is one of Britain’s oldest monthly
art-historical publications. Founded in 1903 by a group of art writers
that included Robert Dell, Roger Fry, Bernard Berenson and Herbert
Horne, its aim was to cover all aspects of the fine and decorative
arts, to combine scholarship with critical insight and to treat the art
of the present with the same seriousness as the art of the past.

Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London was founded by Sotheby’s auction
house in 1969. It is now an independent not-for-profit institute and
offers six MA programmes across a range of visual art disciplines and
art business, together with semester and summer courses. These are
validated by the University of Manchester with whom there is also a
joint PhD programme. Research and teaching at Sotheby’s Institute
focuses on the art work and its context within the framework of the art
world and market.

The aim of the joint conference is to explore how the international
press, via art-historical writing and criticism in magazines and
journals, has intersected with the reception and understanding of art,
collecting, the art market and the teaching of art history.

Preference will be given to submissions based on art publications from
the twentieth century, although proposals outside of this time period
will be considered.

Topics for discussion may include but are not limited to:

– History of individual journals

– Current state of the art press/digital media

– How the art press has facilitated and documented changing patterns
and transnational connections

– How journals have shaped the foundation of the discipline of art
history

– The influence of the art press on current educational programmes in
museums

– The critic/dealer system

– Audience and reception of art magazines and journals

– How the art press has interacted with museums, reflecting,
criticising or influencing their acquisition policy

– Female journalists and art periodicals

– Artists as critics

– Artists’ magazines

Papers should be no longer than 20 minutes. Please send proposals of no
more than 250 words by 30th September 2012 to Anne Blood
(conference@burlington.org.uk).

Registration fee: £25 – Students £10 – no registration fee for speakers
