Speaker: Elyse Gerstenecker, PhD, Director of Curatorial Affairs & Curator of Decorative Arts
Decorative arts traditionally are associated with utility, a functional means to an end. However, beyond their functional purpose, they also serve as expressions of taste, status, and sometimes greed. Join Elyse for an illuminating conversation about some of the best examples of decorative arts in Telfair’s permanent collection and their ability to fulfill consumers’ greatest desires.
