SUMMARY:LECTURE | Beyond Blue and White: The Hidden Women of Delftware
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Blue and White: The Hidden Women of Delftware\nWDS Book Talk with Genevieve Wheeler Brown \nThursday\, March 12\, 7:00 PM \nThis lecture is offered in person and via ZOOM. Please purchase virtual tickets prior to 4:00 PM on the day of the lecture to ensure you receive the link.  \nPurchase Tickets\n  \nWhen over seventy-five pieces of rare Delftware were discovered in a historic Manhattan townhouse\, decorative art expert Genevieve Wheeler Brown recognized these exquisite ceramics held secrets overlooked for centuries. Join us for an illustrated journey through the hidden history of this beloved art form and the remarkable women who shaped it. \nThrough vivid images of 17th and 18th century treasures—puzzle jugs\, flower pyramids\, Persian blue teapots\, and ornate tiles—Brown reveals the stories of female factory owners like Barbara Rotteveel\, who founded “The Three Bells” in 1671\, and royal patron Queen Mary II\, whose passion for blue and white ceramics sparked a decorative revolution. Discover how pioneering American collectors Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt II laid the groundwork for women in museums while preserving decorative arts for future generations. \nPart art history\, part detective story\, this presentation celebrates the artistry and forceful female lives behind one of the world’s most coveted ceramics. \nTickets: $15 | $12.50 Virtual | $10 Members \nThis lecture will be offered in person and via Zoom. \n*Zoom link will be provided in advance of the lecture. \nAbout the Author: As a decorative art advisor and writer with over thirty years in the art world\, including a decade with Christie’s in New York and London\, Genevieve Wheeler Brown has been actively involved in the community of Delftware. She has also participated on the Antiques Roadshow as an appraiser with an eye out for overlooked “treasure.” In her role\, she has held innumerable objects\, from fake Stradivari violins to gold-mounted Faberge eggs\, considering their value but also the stories they can tell. Beyond Blue and White has been named an NPR Here & Now Editors’ Pick!\, The Art Newspaper‘s Book Bag Selection and recently received glowing reviews by the Magazine ANTIQUES and The Wall Street Journal. \n
