10:00 Dr.
SARAH BECKMANN (UCLA) Looking at
Art through Roman Eyes: Collecting Art in the Late Roman Era What did Romans
from this period collect and why? Dr.
Beckmann has excavated throughout the Mediterranean, with primary interests in museum collections and provenance-based studies. Her current research looks at the reception
of antiques in the later Roman period — how and why these people were
collecting antique sculptures and art in their home, what they saw in antique
objects, and what values or message these objects carried for later generations
of Romans. As an archaeologist, she is
focused on observing the context in which an object or work of art is found, in
order to properly interpret its meaning, then and now.
