*Overview*
Today, the term “connoisseur” does not simply call to mind those savants at the bleeding edge of art and design. As taste and expertise evolve rapidly, the next generation of connoisseurs is challenging—and changing—the very definition of connoisseurship. This new era is being written by a class of visionary tastemakers with vastly different values, viewpoints, and approaches to the creative and visual arts than their forebears.
What does connoisseurship mean in our current day? What will it look like in the near future? How are today’s connoisseurs anticipating the legacies of the collections they manage? In this panel, three prominent figures shaping this new age provide illuminating insights from their unique perspectives about how connoisseurship is transforming.
