It was great to see so much interest from visitors in the 'Degenerate Art' gallery conversation led by my Art Institute of Chicago colleague Kristen French. It was a great presentation and discussion!

Amanda Block (a MAPH alumna!) spoke about the importance of provenance research in her role as Director of Curatorial Documentation and Research and how the Art Institute is communicating its provenance research.

We would like to thank Alexandra Fraser, Carl Fuldner, and Erica Warren from the University of Chicago for organizing today's event with us, everyone at the Art Institute who made today's event possible - and especially the students for their thoughtful questions and enthusiasm.

Today, the Art Institute of Chicago's provenance research team had the great pleasure of hosting a provenance workshop for the University of Chicago's Master of Arts Program in the Humanities.
