Connoisseurship
Judith H. Dobrzynski on Culture, Real Clear Arts.
"To hear some people tell it, connoisseurship is a concept that has been lost by much of the art world -- or at the very least, underplayed. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts this week opens an exhibition that instead puts connoisseurship back in the spotlight."
Ms. Dobrzynski regularly finds interesting items. Personally, I think connoisseurship is in decline, but I might just be a grumpy old man.
There is a slideshow version of the exhibition.
