PARIS, May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Comité
International d'Histoire de l'Art (CIHA) has existed since 1873
and its congresses have usually taken place every four years
(sometimes colloquially referred to as the Art History
Olympiad).
The only global event in this field, it allows researchers
and professionals from the art and heritage disciplines to discuss,
share, and debate a wide range of issues relating to art
history and all of its political, social, and societal
ramifications.
For France, which is hosting the 2024 Olympic Games in
Paris, the CIHA will rank among
the country's major events of the year.
Organized by the French Art History Committee (CFHA) in
partnership with the National Institute of Art History (INHA),
the Lumière University Lyon
2 and the Rhône-Alpes Historical Research Laboratory
(LARHRA CNRS UMR 5190), the 36th edition of this
congress will take place at the Congress Center of the Cité
Internationale de Lyon from
June 23 to 28, 2024
(https://www.cihalyon2024.fr/en/)
According to thierry Ehrmann, CEO of Artmarket.com and
founder of Artprice:
"As one of its principal active patrons, Artprice is
very happy to contribute to this global event, which
is one of the most important for France and its international
cultural policy. With participants from over 70 countries and more
than 1000 speakers, this year's CIHA will be a superb intellectual
complement to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Indeed, this extraordinary quadrennial
Art History Congress consolidates France's efforts to re-establish
itself as an important cultural player on the international scene
(according to Artprice's Annual Art Market Report, it is
already the leading art marketplace in continental
Europe). We will of course
be very pleased to welcome CIHA delegates to the
global headquarters of Artprice by Artmarket, in the heart of
the Contemporary Art Museum, La Demeure du Chaos / Abode of
Chaos."
The theme of this 36th edition of the CIHA is
"Matter and Materiality" which is "inherent
to the conception, production, interpretation and conservation of
artifacts in all cultures across all periods of
time… The concept of materiality … refers to the fact
that the artifacts are composed of materials and, at a theoretical
level, to all the processes — technical, cultural and social — that
undergird the realization and the material perception of works of
art.
This theme opens onto a whole panoply of very topical questions
that reflect major societal, ecological and ethical changes. The
congress will also address a wide range of technical
issues relating to different categories of objects, from
paintings to prints, from architectural techniques to the use of
waste materials, from the human body to clothing, among others.

According to Olivier Bonfait, President of the French Committee
for the History of Art (CFHA), organizer of the CIHA 2024:
"By the quality and diversity of the planned
discussions, the growing number of participants and the
international response it has received, this Art History Congress
is already a global success. And, considering Artprice's
contribution to Art History by enhancing art market
transparency, their support of this Congress is a great honor and
makes perfect sense. Because the International Congress in
Lyon is essentially a
major celebration of Art History knowledge."
During the congress, there will be more than 1000 speakers from
more than 70 countries and Turkish author Orhan Pamuk, a Nobel Prize laureate, will
deliver the opening speech.
Among the talks on the multiple subjects related to the main
themes of the congress, there will be presentations by several
prestigious speakers including Georges
Didi-Huberman (EHESS, Paris), Éric de Chassey (INHA, Paris), Sven Dupré (Utrecht University, Netherlands), Finbarr
Barry Flood (New York
University, New York, USA),
Tim Ingold (University of Aberdeen, Scotland), Isabelle Pallot-Frossard (President of the
Fondation des Sciences du Patrimoine, Paris), Antoine
Picon (Harvard University Graduate
School of Design, Cambridge, USA), Devika
Singh (Courtauld Institute, London), Gabriela
Siracusano (Universidad Nacional Tres de Febrero,
Buenos Aires, Argentina) and
Monika Wagner (Universität
Hamburg, Hamburg).
Several round tables will address issues related to digital
technology, the art market, libraries, international research
and restoration programs. And because the congress cannot
address the subject of 'matter' without giving a voice to
those who work on it, two international artists will present their
relationship to materiality (in partnership with the Museum of
Contemporary Art in Lyon):
Sheela Gowda (from India) and Jefferson Pinder (from the USA, with support from the Terra Foundation).
Artprice and its L'Organe Museum of Contemporary Art which
manages La Demeure du Chaos (otherwise known as
the "Abode of Chaos", Dixit The New York
Times) will participate in collaborative knowledge-sharing
workshops.
In the evenings, discussions will continue during exceptional
events organized with partner museums and foundations and the
support of active patrons.
A special evening will be hosted at the global headquarters
of Artprice by Artmarket, with a visit to its historical and unique
documentary archive of art market knowledge from 1700 to the
present day, located in the heart of its Contemporary Art
Museum at the Abode of Chaos. A meeting will also be scheduled
between its founding President, thierry Ehrmann, the scientific
managers of the different departments of Artprice and CIHA
researchers.
In addition, the Circle of Lyon Museum Patrons will host a
reception at the Lyon Museum of Fine Arts during which
restored works from its collection will be presented, and
Lyon's Museum of Contemporary Art
will host the re-edition of a banquet designed by the Swiss
artist Daniel Spoerri, thanks to a
loan from the National Center of Visual Arts and the collaboration
of Michelin-starred Lyon-based
chef, Jérémy Galvan.
There will also be various heritage excursions to the
surrounding Auvergne / Rhône-Alpes region during the last day
of the congress (Friday 28 June
2024). Congress participants will thus be able to discover
some important cultural places such as the buildings
designed by Le Corbusier (Firminy
and Le Couvent de la Tourette), the monumental heritage
at Bâtie d'Urfé and Puy-en-Velay, the exceptional
Palais Idéal du Facteur Cheval (Postman Cheval's Ideal
Palace), the Royal Monastery of Brou and the major museums of
the region including those of Grenoble and Saint-Etienne, as well
as important sites for conservation and restoration techniques
(ARC Nucléart in Grenoble).
Throughout the congress, participants will be able to visit the
city's museums, contemporary art centers and galleries,
and discover the architectural heritage of the city's
different eras (the Old Lyon district, the buildings designed
by Tony Garnier, the city's industrial heritage, etc.).
Lyon is classified as a UNESCO
World Heritage Site.
Artprice by Artmarket will be participating in a simultaneous
Book Fair at the Lyon Convention
Center that will allow participants to discover the most recent
publications from major French and international publishers.
Presentations of publications related to the theme of the
congress will allow participants to meet and discuss with
their authors from all over the world.
The CIHA is placed under the high sponsorship of the Ministry of
Culture and its Minister Rachida
Dati, the Ministry of Europe & Foreign Affairs and its Minister
Stéphane Séjourné, the Ministry of Higher Education & Research
and its Minister Sylvie Retailleau.
It is supported by major institutions: the National Center for
Scientific Research, the National Institute of Art History, the
