In-Sight Evenings at the Art Museums

Stephan Wolohojian, the Landon and Lavinia Clay Curator and head of the division of European and American Art at the Harvard Art Museums, discussed the Barberini Faun plaster model at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum. All the evidence points to the Harvard model being “a working model,” said Wolohojian, and not a cast for reproduction. It was the kind of working object made of clay, rope, and other handy material that “rarely survived in a chaotic sculptor’s studio,” he said. “This plaster is a rare and precious survivor.”
