Sunday, February 7, 2010
10 AM to 12 PM
Montgomery Arts Theater at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, The Dallas Arts District, 2501 Flora Street, Dallas.

The controversy that has accompanied the publication of the Noyola collection of Frida Kahlo material has raised numerous questions. This panel will bring together the owners of the Noyola material, experts who have examined the objects, the publisher of the related book (Finding Frida Kahlo), as well as scholars, dealers, and journalists who are familiar with the artist’s oeuvre. The discussion will range from the specific — a description of the Noyola archive — to more general questions about how newly discovered artworks are received and evaluated by the scholarly community and the market.

Moderated by Jason Edward Kaufman, art historian, critic and correspondent for The Art Newspaper, the participants include Carlos Noyola and Leticia Fernandez, co-owners of La Buhardilla Antiquarios in San Miguel de Allende and owners of the collection; Jed Paradies, advisor with the Noyola collection; Jennifer Thompson, Editorial Director, and Kevin Lippert, Publisher of Princeton Architectural Press. Mary-Anne Martin who founded the Latin American Department at Sotheby’s before starting Mary-Anne Martin/Fine Art, New York; Dr. Salomon Grimberg, co-author of the Frida Kahlo catalog raisonné, Frida Kahlo, Das Gesamtwerk, and and one of the world’s leading experts on her work; James Oles, professor of art history at Wellesley College who has conducted extensive research in the Kahlo archives at her Casa Azul in Mexico City.
