NAWCC and Boston Museum of Fine Art Present 'Horology in Art'

With Halloween around the corner, some of you may be considering heading to Salem, Mass., for a little witch hunt. If so, you may want to plan a side trip between October 26 and 28th to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston to see an exhibition sponsored by the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC). The presentation is called "HOROLOGY IN ART."



It is interesting to note that since the 13th century, when clocks and mechanical timekeeping came into vogue, famous artists such has Titian, Jamie Wyeth, Brueghel and Dali have regularly portrayed timepieces and the subject of time in their works.

The NAWCC, in its almost 75 years of existence, has a membership of more than 12,000 watch lovers and experts from around the world. Some of those have studied the relationship between time and art — and this is the subject of the NAWCC's annual educational conference.

The 2017 symposium of "Horology and Art" will bring together 18 experts, including art historians, curators, professors, scholars and horologists, each of whom will present different aspects of the topic throughout the three-day event.

The programs begin on October 26th and will be presented at the Boston MFA’s Alfond Auditorium. Three days of museum admissions are included with full registrations. There will be a concluding dinner banquet at the Harvard Club of Boston. For more information and to register, visit http://www.horologyinart.com.
