Antiquities in Motion
Barbara Furlotti
In this dynamic exploration of the Roman market for antiquities in the early modern period, Barbara Furlotti reconstructs the journey of ancient objects from digging sites to the marketplace. Drawing from vast unpublished archival material,
Antiquities in Motion: From Excavation Sites to Renaissance Collections relies on the innovative notion of archaeological finds as mobile items as it examines the changes in economic value, meaning, and appearance that antiquities underwent as they traveled across land and sea.

Mother Art Records
Finding Aid
Mother Art was one of many feminist art collectives operating out of The Woman's Building in downtown Los Angeles. Formed in 1973, the Mother Art records reflect the sociopolitical and feminist art practices of the Los Angeles women's collective, with administrative files that detail Mother Art's formation and project files that document the group's performances and installations in the Los Angeles area community and arts organizations. The Mother Art records are being preserved and made available to researchers with support from a Federal Save America's Treasures grant administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
