Paris, 8 October 2012
The SNA (Syndicat National des Antiquaires-National Antiquarians Syndicate) is continuing its cultural cycle titled “L’Art vu par le Syndicat National des Antiquaires”, opened on 9 January 2012. Among 26 disciplines presented, the public is offered lectures and workshops led by experts, curators and professionals (part of the SNA or not).
For its first edition, this cultural cycle is a reflection on the main issues of the art market. According to Jean-Gabriel Peyre, vice-president of the SNA, “L’Art vu par le S.N.A.” is intended for people willing to develop their artistic culture, choosing between 26 disciplines to create their own program.” It is above all a way to awaken the curiosity of people willing to extend their knowledge of the art market, get familiarised with the expertise criteria and valuation of an arwork.
October will focus mainly on Asian art, with lectures about Chinese archeology and collections of Chinese ancient bronze. 15 and 16 October will be devoted to Chinese and Asian china as well as current china market. Workshops will take place at the SNA, rue Malesherbes, led by Thierry Portier, co-founder of the French-Japanese Association Bulletin.
