Synopsis

What can an art object tell us about its meaning today and at its execution? Can we 'read' artifacts to find out why they were made and for whom? What do they reveal about their context and how has their value changed over the years? Understanding Art Objects presents thirteen essays written by teachers and consultants at Sotheby's Institute addressing these exact questions.
