A Lecture in celebration of a new book by Dr. Abbey Ellis
Join us to discover the unsung hero of ancient Greek and Roman art: the unlikely sculptural material of plaster.
This lively talk will reveal how plaster shaped the statuary of the ancient Mediterranean and beyond, from mysterious life casts to the iconic works of Roman Baiae, and explore how our understanding of art across the ages can be transformed by delving into modern artists’ studios.
This event is free and open to the public.
