The Raphael exhibition at the National Gallery makes this
an apt moment to address this topic - one that was introduced
in last year's Naming Names seminar. Speakers will
explore issues such as the Burckhardtian concern with the
cult of the individual; the notion of a monograph - whether
in the format of an exhibition or book; the effect on an
artist's or architect's work when it is considered within
a catalogue raisonné or in the context of a biography;
the problem of 'anonymous masters' and how the attribution
of art works or buildings may be driven or constrained by
the art historical definition of authorship.
