Have you ever wondered how a collector decides on what works of art to add to his or her collection? Take a lunch break at home or in the office and join the Stark Museum of Art for a special Lunch & Look @ Home: Connoisseurship – Good, Better, Best, on Friday, April 16, 2020 from Noon – 1:00 p.m. Special guest, Katherine Halligan, Western Art Specialist from Bonhams, will guide participants through case studies of Historic and Contemporary Western artists with commentary on what makes a particular piece of art a “good,” “better,” or “best” example of an artist’s work. Participants will learn some of the basics of connoisseurship, the art of developing judgments about fine arts. Participants must register for the FREE program in advance. Registration will close on Thursday, April 15, 2021 at Noon.

This program is offered in partnership with the Stark Museum of Art, The Couse-Sharp Historic Site in Taos, New Mexico, and Bonhams, a privately-owned international auction house.
