together with Darren Jones, Gaby Collins-Fernandez, and Alyona Valerie DybunovaWhen recently we interviewed Philippe de Montebello, it happened that Sir Norman was in town, and so he participated in that discussion. He had much to say which was of great interest and so we thought it natural to continue the discussion with an interview devoted entirely to him.

THE HELD ESSAYS ON VISUAL ART
Beyond the Relic Cult of Art
By Alexander Nagel
I am nostalgic for a time before the modern concept of art forgery had gelled, when it was possible to imagine many ways for artworks to exist out of their time. I love the culture of Renaissance art because it was not settled in its categories, and produced art out of that unsettlement. It knew forgery, but it wrinkled time in other ways as well.
