It is a testament to the timelessness of American craftsmanship. \nJoin Americana Insights editor Lisa Minardi\, a distinguished curator and scholar of Pennsylvania German art and culture\, to explore highlights from this inaugural annual publication. Gain an appreciation for the delicate artistry of cutworks made by an inmate in Philadelphia’s Eastern State Penitentiary\, delve into the meaning of painted tavern signs and jewelry in folk portraiture\, discover the genius of New Jersey schoolmaster and calligrapher Thomas Earl\, and witness the beauty and significance of signature quilts from the nineteenth century. Guests will also get a sneak peek at topics lined up for 2024\, as Americana Insights continues to seek new\, original research on aspects of traditional American folk art and Americana created from the colonial era to the early twentieth century. \nThe significance of each object\, the artists who crafted them\, and the cultural contexts that breathed life into these creations unfold in scholarly essays and lavish imagery in Americana Insights. It is a treasure trove of inspiration for architects\, designers\, collectors\, and anyone passionate about the arts. \nEditor of Americana Insights\, Lisa Minardi is a distinguished curator and scholar of Pennsylvania German art and culture. She has organized numerous exhibitions and published extensively. Assistant curator at Winterthur Museum from 2006 to 2016\, Minardi serves as executive director of Historic Trappe and the Center for Pennsylvania German Studies. \nLisa is currently a PhD candidate in the History of American Civilization Program at the University of Delaware\, where she is researching the German-speaking community of early Philadelphia for her dissertation.

Michael Diaz-Griffith\, author of The New Antiquarians: At Home with Young Collectors (Phaidon/The Monacelli Press\, 2023)\, discusses this reawakened interest in antiques\, considering unorthodox new approaches to looking at—and living with—the material culture of the past. Spanning the spectrum from minimalist to maximalist\, the young collectors he chronicles embrace irreverent modes of collecting and decorating with vintage and historic objects that echo the way we consume visual material today: brazenly blending the old with the new\, embracing anachronism and pastiche\, deploying serious knowledge with wit and humor\, and considering old things through the lens of contemporary values. \nMichael Diaz-Griffith is an art historian\, designer\, and executive director of the Design Leadership Network. Prior to joining the DLN\, Diaz-Griffith served as executive director of Sir John Soane’s Museum Foundation and as associate executive director of The Winter Show\, America’s most prestigious and longest-running art and antiques fair. The New Antiquarians: At Home with Young Collectors is his first book. \nBook signing to follow lecture. \n\n\n\n\nYoung Scholars Lectures | Saturday\, November 11\, 3:00 pm \n\nLeft: Becca Lo Presti; Right: Taylor Rossini\n\nThe Last Tall Clock in America? A Winterthur Tall Clock and Time Telling in Nineteenth-Century America  \nby Becca Lo Presti\, Lois F. McNeil Fellow\, Winterthur  \nThrough an analysis of a mid-Atlantic tall clock at Winterthur\, this talk explores the nuances of time telling in nineteenth century America. Although the production of tall clocks decreased as the century progressed\, these objects remained present in both material and imagined spaces of American life. This enduring presence of the tall clock subsequently reveals how the right to regulate one’s time varied drastically depending on race\, class\, and gender despite increasing access to time-telling pieces.   \nEmpire on a Plate: Imperial Rivalry and Cartographic Knowledge in Overton’s Trading Part of the West Indies (1741) \n \nby Taylor Rossini\, Lois F. McNeil Fellow\, Winterthur   \nRossini explores the role of cartographic representation in the staging of eighteenth-century empire through a British map created during the War of Jenkins Ear (1739–48). The map\, published in an unstable wartime moment\, offers an optimistic and somewhat counterfactual view of British naval power in the Americas\, providing a compelling opportunity to reflect on how material props are entangled with imperial aspirations.   \n\n\n\n\nEmerging Scholars Lectures sponsored by the Decorative Arts Trust.  \n\n\n\n\nSunday Lecture | November 12\, 2:00 pm \n \n\n\n\n\nA Storied Past: Collections of Historic Odessa  \nby Philip D. Zimmerman \n\n\n\n\nPhilip D. Zimmerman\, author of A Storied Past: Collections of Historic Odessa (Rowman & Littlefield\, 2023)\, will present this eponymous lecture on the recent and on-going research and interpretations of the furnishings and other decorative arts at Historic Odessa in southern New Castle County\, Delaware. Zimmerman will discuss new findings and interpretations as well as the interlocking histories of many of the objects in this remarkable collection. \nA museum and decorative arts consultant based in Lancaster\, Pennsylvania\, Philip D. Zimmerman is a prolific author\, teacher\, and lecturer. He is a nationally recognized authority on early American furniture. Publications include Harmony in Wood: Furniture of the Harmony Society\, Delaware Clocks\, American Federal Furniture and Decorative Arts from the Watson Collection\, and numerous essays and articles in books and periodicals such as American Furniture and The Magazine Antiques.
