Conference

"Auricular Style: Frames".
The Wallace Collection (Goodison Lecture Theatre)
Hertford House
Manchester Square
London W1U 3BN
5-6 October, 2016.

This two-day international conference is the first dedicated to the
Auricular style, centering on one of its most significant
manifestations, the picture frame.  The conference aims to stimulate
awareness and study of this important but neglected style by
bringing together research in fine and decorative art histories.
Speakers from Europe, UK and USA will consider the origins and
development of the Auricular style in different materials, including
silver, wood, stucco, and leather.  Papers will explore how other
areas of the decorative and applied arts fed into the creation of
picture frames.  They will examine the influence of prints,
drawings, and the style's dissemination between European centres in
Bohemia, Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands, and Britain.
Poster presentations will be exhibited during the conference.
