Working Group for the Study of Medieval Sculpture (1100-1550)

Call for Papers: A Transatlantic Collaboration, Paris, 30-31 January 2012: “The Sculptural Medium”

This call for papers concerns the first conference of the Working group for the Study of Medieval Sculpture, which will take place in Paris. (Calls for the papers for the other two events will be announced throughout 2011/12.) In Paris our hosts will be the INHA, the Fondation Singer-Polignac, and the Musée du Louvre. The focus will be on the material aspects of sculpture, and the various methodological approaches developed for sculptural study. One particular axis will be the consideration of American and European traditions and methodologies, including British sculptural practice in the Medieval period.
