Karen Daly-Junker; Museum Registrar

4/25/2017

 
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts registrar, Karen Daly-Junker, will be discussing her career as a museum registrar, her work on the recent Munch/Johns exhibition, and her research into Nazi-era art provenance. ​
​
The lecture was fascinating - what an amazing job she has. It was enlightening to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes. As visitors to a museum, we just look at the art on the walls - DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT GREAT LENGTHS IT TAKES TO INSTALL AN EXHIBIT? If you attended the lecture, now you know! If you missed the lecture, you'll need to do some research to learn about it on your own.

The presentation is below (may not be viewable on a phone) but you will need to do further research to truly understand what a registrar does. She did not have time to fully discuss her work with provenance research and restitution of stolen art. That is another topic that you can look into further. It, also, is truly fascinating.

To understand more about Nazi-ear art theft, watch the trailers (also posted below) for The Rape of Europa (documentary) and Monuments Men (Hollywood movie). The Hollywood film is based on the documentary and chronicles efforts of the US Army to protect art during - and find/return stolen art after - WWII. Watch the full versions if you can. Good stuff.
