Colnaghi x WAAW World x Classic Art London Panel Discussion
This talk will foreground the remarkable but often overlooked work that women collectors, patrons and curators played in driving the art world both in London and in New York at the beginning of the 20th century. Bringing fresh evidence to the discussion, our contributors will unearth fascinating stories which shaped the development of the art world as we know it.
