How might the meaning of works of art and viewers' response to them shift over time as a result of a change of context and transformation? Philippe de Montebello, director emeritus of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, examines these questions, while considering that transformations of works of art may involve deliberate alterations and natural degradation, iconoclasm, and vandalism—as well as renewal and regeneration. Free; reservations required.
