発表要旨

「シカゴ美術館の古代エジプト・コレクション」
Curating Ancient Egypt at the Art Institute of Chicago
With Amelia Edward’s gift of a ushabti in 1890, the Art Institute of Chicago became the first museum in the city to start a collection of Egyptian antiquities. This talk will explore how the collection has been displayed over the last 130 years, revealing some of the collection’s highlight objects. Particular focus will be placed on the new permanent gallery of the arts of ancient Egypt Life and Afterlife in Ancient Egypt, which opened to the public in 2022.

「レヴァント出土の古代エジプトの彫像について」
Moving Images: Studies in Egyptian Statuary in the Levant
For the ancient Egyptians statues were not lifeless objects, but rather active participants in the world around them. In some instances, their duties sent them on forays outside of Egypt’s borders. Illustrated by a series of case studies, this lecture will reconstruct the diverse histories of a selection of such statues drawing from the large corpus of Egyptian statues discovered in the Levant.
