| Abstract | Wrought for a vast range of practices and contexts, in an abundance of forms, styles, and techniques, European late medieval secular goldsmiths' work remains an elusive category of artistic production and use. Acknowledging the inherent flexibility and intracity in which goldsmiths' work was created and perceived, in these sessions, we seek to problematise the secular/religious dichotomy in relation to late medieval goldsmithery; examine networks organised around goldsmiths' work, including guilds, workshops, and commissioners; as well as the exchange of gifts and the conversion of objects. Researchers, curators, and students will examine issues of the production of goldsmith's work in the first session and the diverse forms of its use in the second session. |
