1. THE RESEARCHER’S
VIEWPOINT- WARTS AND
ALL
Dr Gabriele Neher

4. A fifteenth-century painting is the
deposit of a social relationship. On one
side there was a painter who made the
picture, or at least supervised its
making. On the other side there was
somebody else who asked him to
make it, provided funds for him to
make it and, after he had made it
reckoned on using it in some way or
another.
‘THE PERIOD EYE’- DISPLAY

5. Both parties worked within institutions
and conventions- commercial, religious,
perceptual, in the widest sense social-
that were different from ours and
influenced the forms of what they
together made.

Century Italy, 1972, p. 1

9. LET’S TALK HISTORY OF ART!
“Art is not so different from science, which
is also involved in discovering ways of
understanding reality […] whether we read
the findings of scientists or artists, we have
to know the language.”
George Nelson, How to See (Boston: Little, Brown &
Co, 1977; London: Phaidon, 2017), 19.

13. Pop up exhibitions and Shopping Malls

14. “… access to museums and
galleries allows everybody to
enter another world, think of
another world, see the world
from somewhere else,
reimagine their own world,
reimagine themselves… The
point of the museum is to
allow the citizen to be a better
citizen”
(Neil McGregor, British
Museum and Berlin Humboldt
