This podcasts bring together Masterpiece exhibitors in different fields to discuss, from personal and aesthetic perspectives, a single material that is shared across those fields: how the speakers relate to the material, what they’ve learnt about it over time, what makes it beautiful; its versatility; how it has been handled, worked, manipulated, transformed by artists; and why and how collectors prize and preserve it today. The series takes a tangent on cross-collecting by exploring what disparate type of objects have in common – and what we can learn about them by placing them together. Hosted on Acast.
