The processes of desire, acquisition, and incorporation: The art object is singularly interpreted and defined, then classified as part to whole. How do we understand the collector as agent? How does the interest in and function of the singular object define the collection as a whole? Transmission The path of the object and collection through time and space: The collection enters a market, private, or public realm to be re-interpreted, re-evaluated, and re-classified. What physical and social borders does the object or collection transcend? Do objects, collections, and their classifications withstand the challenge of time? Reception The destination of the art object and collection: the collection enters the social realms of display and function. How do initial sites of collecting and audience relate to use and display in public or private, elite and non-elite destinations? How does the notion of a collection influence the storage, reproduction, and reinvention of art objects?Abstracts of 300 words or less, along with a C.V., must be postmarked by June 15, 2005. Submissions may be e-mailed to ahsympos@humnet.ucla.edu or mailed to: AHGSA Symposium 2005
