| Abstract | Historians of medieval art often face the problem of working on objects that no longer exist or that exist only through desciptions. In fact, some of these objects may never have existed at all. As practitioners of a discipline in which the object is often the primary source, such situations can often lead to the development of new methodologies and theoretical responses. These sessions feature papers that explore the interstices between the visible and the invisible. Presenters will consider such aspects as objects that never existed, no longer exist, or that cannot be seen. Papers may deal with objects in all media including architecture, medieval ideas or beliefs, and historiography. |
