“FRAME IT UP! CHANGING FASHIONS OF AMERICAN FRAMES 18TH TO 20TH-CENTURY”
LIVE (ZOOM) EVENT WITH STEPHANIE HEYDT, TRACY GILL, AND SIMEON LAGODICH.
An evening devoted to American frames and their fascinating history. This virtual event explored the changing styles of frame fashion from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries. This special focus comes at the conclusion of a multiyear special initiative to examine and upgrade frames for the High’s collection. Stephanie Heydt, Margaret and Terry Stent Curator of American Art, was in conversation with frame historians Simeon Lagodich and Tracy Gill, founders of Gill & Lagodich Fine Period Frame Gallery, New York. The evening included a presentation on American frame history, a tour of the High’s American art collection, and a Q&A session to field questions about the “art around the art”—the art of the frame.
