CALL FOR PAPERS

Sacred Possessions? Italy and Collecting Religious Art, 1500-1900

A conference organized by the Bibliotheca Hertziana - Max Planck  Institute
for Art History and the Getty Research Institute in  cooperation with the
American Academy in Rome.

The conference will be held at the American Academy in Rome,
June  19-21, 2007.

This conference explores the collecting of religious art in and of  Italy as
a special case within the broader study of collecting. The  guiding
questions for this endeavor include: How does the  religious, devotional,
spiritual content of art affect the ways in  which it is collected?  Do
religious significance and/or function  in the production of a work of art
make a difference in its  subsequent collection?  What changes - social,
confessional,  intellectual, political - have had an impact on the
collecting of  religious art?

Papers should focus on 1) collecting religious art in Italy, or 2)  the
collecting of Italian religious art elsewhere. We hope that  proposals will
address a spectrum of periods and themes, such as  (but not limited to) the
following:

*    When a work leaves its sacred context, what are the new  conditions of
its reception and interpretation? How can the  commingling of aesthetic and
religious meaning be balanced when a  work is collected?

*    To what extent is religious art differentiated as a category by
collectors, for example by its placement or mode of display within  a
collection?

*    What comprises the category of "religious art" in the context of
collecting in Italy? Does cross-cultural, cross-temporal collecting
mitigate the religious content of works of art, such as when  cardinals
acquired antique statues of pagan gods or when  representations of Aztec
gods in feathers and gold appeared in the  collections of popes and princes?

*    The confessional, social and political upheavals in early modern
Europe were transnational phenomena and led to the dispersal and
recontextualization of religious art. How was the religious meaning  of
individual works transformed over the course of these broader  historical
movements?


*    With the advent of tourism to Italy, art-lovers joined religious
pilgrims in visiting Italian churches. Did this phenomenon  transform a
church into the imaginary of a collection? Conversely, did a sense of
sacrality  somehow transfer to public museums as the new temples for
devotion  to art?


The deadline for proposals is December 1, 2006.  Proposals should  be
submitted for consideration in the form of an abstract no longer  than 250
words, and may be in Italian, German or English.   Abstracts, as well as a
curriculum vitae, must be sent by email to  both the Bibliotheca Hertziana -
Max Planck Institute for Art  History and the Getty Research Institute:

CALL FOR PAPERS

Heilige Güter? Italien und das Sammeln religiöser Kunst, 1500-1900

Internationale Tagung der Bibliotheca Hertziana - Max-Planck- Institut für
Kunst¬geschichte und des Getty Research Institute in  Zu¬sammen¬¬arbeit mit
der American Academy in Rome.

Ort und Datum: 19. bis 21. Juni 2007 in der American Academy in Rom.

Die Tagung befaßt sich schwerpunktmäßig mit einem Sonderfall  innerhalb des
Forschungsbereichs der Sammlungsgeschichte  italienischer Kunst, mit dem
Sammeln religiöser Kunst in und aus  Italien. Folgende Fragestellungen
sollen im Mittelpunkt stehen: In  welcher Weise beeinflusst der religiöse
und geistliche Inhalt von  Kunstwerken die Art und Weise, in der sie
gesammelt werden?  Verändert die religiöse Bedeutung und/oder Funktion eines
Kunst¬werks den Charakter einer Sammlung? Welche sozialen, konfessionellen,
intellektuellen bzw. politischen Wandlungsprozesse  beeinflussten das
Sammeln religiöser Kunst?

Die Beiträge sollten sich auf 1) das Sammeln religiöser Kunst in  Italien
oder 2) das Sammeln italienischer religiöser Kunst  andernorts beziehen und
ein breites Spektrum von Epochen und  Themenbereichen umfassen, wie zum
Beispiel die folgenden:

*    Wie verändern sich Rezeption und Interpretation eines  Kunst¬werks,
wenn es seinen sakralen Kontext verläßt? Wie kann die  Spannung zwischen
ästhetischer und religiöser Bedeutung  ausgeglichen werden, wenn ein
Kunstwerk in den Kontext einer  Sammlung gelangt?

*    Bis zu welchem Grad wird religiöse Kunst von Sammlern als eigene
Kategorie behandelt, zum Beispiel durch die Form der Präsentation  oder
durch die Wahl des Aufstellungsortes innerhalb der Sammlung?

*    Was kann im Kontext des italienischen Sammlungswesens zur  Kategorie
"religöse Kunst" gezählt werden? Wird durch die  Zusammenstellung von
Kunstwerken aus verschiedenen Epochen und  Kulturen der sakrale Charakter
eines Kunstwerks geschmälert, wenn  beispielsweise Kardinäle heidnische
Antiken sammelten oder  Darstellungen aztekischer Gottheiten aus Federn und
Gold  Eingang  in Sammlungen von Päpsten und Fürsten fanden?

*    Die grenzüberschreitenden konfessionellen, sozialen und  politischen
Umbrüche im Europa der frühen Neuzeit führten zur  Zerstreuung und
Rekontextualisierung sakraler Kunst. Wie veränderte  sich der religiöse
Sinngehalt der einzelnen Werke im Zuge dieser  historischen
Wandlungsprozesse?

*    Mit dem Aufkommen der klassischen Italienreise wurden die
italienischen Kirchen nicht mehr nur von frommen Pilgern, sondern  zunehmend
auch von Kunstliebhabern besucht. Verwandelte dieses  Phänomen den
Kirchenraum in ein imaginäres Museum für sakrale  Kunst? Und hat sich
umgekehrt die Aura der Sakralität auf  öffentliche Museen als neuen Tempeln
der Kunstreligion übertragen?

Einsendeschluss für Beitragsvorschläge ist der 1. Dezember 2006.  Vorschläge
sollten in Form eines Abstracts  eingereicht werden; sie  dürfen in
italienischer, deutscher oder englischer Sprache  abgefasst sein und sollten
nicht mehr als 250 Wörter um¬fassen.  Abstracts einschließlich Lebens¬lauf
müssen per E-Mail sowohl an  die Bibliotheca Hertziana - Max Planck Institut
für  Kunst¬geschichte, als auch an das Getty Research Institute  geschickt
werden:

CALL FOR PAPERS

Beni sacri?: L'Italia e il collezionismo d'arte religiosa, 1500-1900

Colloquio internazionale organizzato dalla Bibliotheca Hertziana,  Istituto
Max Planck per la storia dell'arte e il Getty Research  Institute  in
collaborazione con l'American Academy in Rome

Il colloquio si terrà nei locali dell'American Academy, a Roma, dal  19 al
21 giugno 2007.

Il convegno indaga, nell'ambito del più ampio panorama di studi sul
collezionismo, il caso specifico del collezionismo d'arte sacra in  Italia
così come il collezionismo di arte religiosa di scuola  italiana anche al di
fuori dei confini peninsulari. Le linee di  ricerca che animano il proposito
del convegno includono questioni  quali: Come incide il contenuto religioso,
devozionale e spirituale  delle opere sul modo in cui esse sono
collezionate? Che tipo di  cambiamenti - sociali, confessionali,
intellettuali, politici -  hanno influito sul collezionismo di arte sacra?

I contributi dovranno vertere su 1) il collezionismo di arte  religiosa in
Italia, o su 2) il collezionismo di arte religiosa  italiana in luoghi e
contesti extra-italiani. Ci si auspica che le  proposte abbraccino un vasto
arco temporale e temi in linea con (ma  non limitati a) i seguenti problemi:

*    Quando un'opera viene separata dal suo contesto sacro originale,  quali
sono le sue nuove condizioni di recezione e interpretazione?  Come viene
bilanciata la commistione tra valore estetico e  significato religioso di un
opera collezionata?

*    Fino a che punto un'opera a carattere religioso si distingue come  una
categoria presso i collezionisti, ad esempio nella sua  collocazione o nei
criteri con cui viene presentata all'interno di  una raccolta?

*    Cosa comprende la categoria di "arte religiosa" nel contesto del
collezionismo italiano? Una collezione che includa oggetti di  culture e
epoche diverse mitiga il contenuto sacro delle singole  opere, come, ad
esempio, quando cardinali acquistano statue antiche  di divinità pagane o
quando  rappresentazioni di divinità azteche  in piume e oro entrano a far
parte delle raccolte di pontefici e  principi?

*    I mutamenti confessionali, sociali e politici nella storia  europea
dell'età moderna furono fenomeni internazionali che  portarono alla
dipsersione e ricontestualizzazione dell'arte  religiosa. Come è stato
trasformato il significato religioso delle  singole opere nel contesto di
questi vasti cambiamenti?

*    Con l'avvento del turismo in Italia, gli appassionati d'arte si  sono
uniti ai pellegrini nella visita alle chiese italiane. Questo  fenomeno ha
fatto sì che il contesto ecclesiale si sia trasformato  in un museo
immaginario di arte religiosa? O, per contro, questo  senso di sacralità è
stato trasferito ai musei pubblici al punto da  essere vissuti come nuovi
luoghi di devozione dell'arte?

Le proposte di intervento con la descrizione del contributo, della
lunghezza massima di 250 parole in italiano, tedesco o inglese e
accompagnate da un curriculum vitae, dovranno pervenire entro e non  oltre
il 1 dicembre 2006 sia alla Bibliotheca Hertziana, Istituto  Max Planck per
la storia dell'arte, che al Getty Research  Institute, tramite e-mail ai
seguenti indirizzi:
