The Discovery of A Masterpiece: A Virtual Lecture by Mallory Mortillaro

  • Ethelbert B. Crawford Public Library 479 Broadway Monticello, NY, 12701 United States (map)


Mallory Mortillaro serves as the Curator of Collections for the Hartley Dodge Foundation in Madison, NJ. While she was cataloging the artwork housed inside of the Hartley Dodge Memorial she uncovered a masterpiece that had been lost to the art world since the 1930s. After a year of research, the piece was authenticated as an official work by Auguste Rodin. Mallory will share the story of how a simple art cataloging project evolved into a search for a mysterious piece’s provenance and became one of the biggest art finds in recent history.

This program is a collaboration between Warner Library, The Nyack Library, Rose Memorial Library, Haverstraw King's Daughters Library & Ethelbert B. Crawford Public Library.
