Abstract (en)

Argues that connoisseurship incorporates ahistorical values and thus should not occupy a central role in art history or the market; proposes that connoisseurship should be subjugated to a more structured historical approach to art. [Paper delivered at the annual meeting of the College Art Association, Boston, 1987.]
