Don’t miss this fascinating virtual talk on Old Master authentication between Philippe Costamagna and Michael Z. Wise!
Taking place November 9, the conversation will be hosted by the The National Arts Club and American Friends of the Louvre.
Author Philippe Costamagna will discuss his book “The Eye: An Insider's Memoir of Masterpieces, Money, and the Magnetism of Art,” which lifts the veil on the labyrinth-like process behind the discovery and authentication of Old Master artworks.
Costamagna will give us a rare insider’s perspective on the circle of experts and connoisseurs devoted to this prestigious task. A specialist in 16th-century Italian painting and director of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Ajaccio, Corsica, he will be joined by Michael Z. Wise, co-founder of New Vessel Press, the imprint behind the newly released publication.

In translation: "This singular autobiography unfurls from author Marina Jarre’s native Latvia during the 1920s and ’30s and expands southward to the Italian countryside. In distinctive writing as poetic as it is precise, Jarre depicts an exceptionally multinational and complicated family: her elusive, handsome father—a Jew who perished in the Holocaust; her severe, cultured mother—an Italian Lutheran who translated Russian literature; and her sister and Latvian grandparents. Jarre tells of her passage from childhood to adolescence, first as a linguistic minority in a Baltic nation and then in traumatic exile to Italy after her parents’ divorce. Jarre lives with her maternal grandparents, French-speaking Waldensian Protestants in the Alpine valleys southwest of Turin, where she finds fascist Italy a problematic home for a Riga-born Jew. This memoir—likened to Speak, Memory by Vladimir Nabokov or Annie Ernaux’s The Years and now translated into English for the first time—probes questions of time, language, womanhood, belonging and estrangement, while asking what homeland can be for those who have none, or many more than one."
