Summary
Sir John Beazley, who held his first academic position at Christ Church, revolutionized the study of Greek figure-decorated pottery. The exhibition presents Beazley's work and assesses his lasting influence. The objects selected for display, together with the individual books and manuscripts that put these in context, plus the tale of how Beazley and other scholars found and acquired their impressive collections, all these highlight a fascinating story, illuminating how important bequests are formed, and how gifts can impact an institution?s status.00Exhibition: Christ Church Library, Oxford, UK (26.01.-03.05.2016).
