The Art Business Conference
ART MEETS SCIENCE AT HKU
On behalf of HKU’s Museum Studies programme, Derek Collins recently hosted a thought-provoking conversation at the University Museum and Art Gallery with Mr. Alexis Kugel of Galerie Kugel, Paris, and Dr. Robert Van Langh of the Rijksmuseum.
Moderated by Professor Marc Walton, the talk explored the fascinating interplay between connoisseurship and conservation science—where the trained eye meets material analysis, and emerging AI tools challenge what we know about authenticity, dating, and provenance.
More events like this are in the works—stay connected with HKU’s Museum Studies programme to join the ongoing dialogue.
