Old Master Paintings: The Legal Landscape
New York Day Course: Tuesday, January 24
 

 

 In recent years countless important Old Master Paintings that were seized during World War II have been restituted to the families that once owned them. This course will focus on the legal landscape and behind-the-scenes stories of some of the treasured paintings which are featured in the upcoming Old Master Paintings auction. Cultural property lawyer and art historian Frank Lord will provide first-hand knowledge of the restitution of some of these important works, with particular attention being paid to paintings from the Jacques Goudstikker Collection. The morning lecture will be followed by a special preview of the sale.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
