WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, Sept. 19 at 5:30 pm, the Clark Art Institute's Research and Academic Program presents "The Print Fetish," a lecture by Kristina Richardson (University of Virginia). 

 

According to a press release:

 

In it she examines how historians and art historians have a responsibility to demystify their sources. By looking beyond the elevated status of print as a "fetish," we are provided with a new, essential recognition of both the social conditions of its production and the role it plays in social reproduction. The talk takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.

 

Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. A reception at 5 pm in the Manton Research Center reading room precedes the event.
