On this tour, Hannah Gadway ’25 will explore the intersection of art and law, particularly how the law has served to protect the interests of artists, art, and collectors. Touching on subjects from “art as evidence” to Nazi-owned art to the legal process involved in giving art to a museum, Gadway will examine three works: James Abbott McNeill Whistler’s painting Nocturne in Blue and Silver (c. 1871–72), the Japanese sculpture Prince Shōtoku at Age Two (Kamakura period, datable to about 1292), and Vincent Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait Dedicated to Paul Gauguin (1888).
Spotlight Tours offer a chance to explore the collections of the Harvard Art Museums through the eyes of a Harvard student. Free and open to the public, these tours start outside the museum shop on Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 2pm. Drop in and join the conversation! And find out what the Student Guides are up to anytime on Instagram @harvardarthappens.
Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the tour. Tours are limited to 18 people and are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
