The conference, directed by Professor Charles Brownell, will have four sessions. They will deal with the story of the "Palladian" window from the Ancient Near East to Richmond's Fan District; furniture classics in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and furniture made in Richmond; the art of ironwork, with special reference to VCU's nationally important collection of wrought and cast iron; and a "parade of white columns," from the Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition of 1907 through more recent buildings inspired by Monticello.
The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, VCU's Special Collections and Archives, and a dozen other cultural institutions join the Department of Art History in sponsoring the event.
Admission is free to students, $8.00 per person for members of sponsoring institutions, and $10.00 per person for others. Reservations are necessary for a post-conference reception, at an additional charge of $15.00, and for a walking tour of Richmond wrought iron, at $10.00.
