Join us virtually on Tuesday, May 24 at 6:30 pm for a spectacular lecture by Mallory Mortillaro, Curator of Collections for the Hartley Dodge Foundation in Madison, NJ. Art fans and historians alike will delight in this real-life tale of mystery, intrigue, and uncovering a masterpiece hidden in plain sight. 

About the lecture:

While she was cataloging the artwork housed inside of the Hartley Dodge Memorial, Mallory uncovered a masterpiece that had been lost to the art world since the 1930s. After a year of research, the piece was authenticated as an official work by Auguste Rodin. Mallory will share the story of how a simple art cataloging project evolved into a search for a mysterious piece’s provenance and became one of the biggest art finds in recent history.
