*Overview*
Recent decades have seen a shift from traditional art historical practices focusing on authenticity and provenance—traditionally considered key to curation and exhibition making—to a focus on context, narrative, and identity. This discussion explores the evolving landscape of curation and the discipline of art history within the (changing) context of connoisseurship.
