Which shifts does the discipline make in response to these practices?
Hints
- Three are the shifts described; one moves in the opposite direction.
- Connoisseurship is object-centred by definition.
Show the answer
- A. From treating display as logistics to treating it as substantive
- C. From studying objects to studying events
- D. From conservation to documentation
Why
The fourth runs backwards: connoisseurship is the attribution of objects by hand and eye, which is exactly the practice these works give least purchase to. The three genuine shifts all move attention away from the persisting object.
