Happy international #provenanceresearchday / #tagderprovenienzforschung to all who celebrate. Today, a thread on objects that have almost no ownership history. Yes, we acquire unprovenanced works of art (though not antiquities) on a case-by-case basis. But which objects, and why?
After seeing the Beinecke Library copy of Gregorio Dati's 'La sfera' on exhibition, I took advantage of the newly-open Boston Public Library Special Collections Reading Room to see our 1484 copy in the Rare Books department.🤩
An illustrated peek inside the BPL’s freshly renovated Special Collections for The Boston Globe .
A huge thanks to the Boston Public Library staff who were incredibly generous with their time and expertise.
