Description

Mallory Mortillaro serves as the Curator of Collections for the Hartley Dodge Foundation in Madison, NJ.  While she was cataloging the artwork inside of the Hartley Dodge Memorial, she uncovered a masterpiece that had been lost to the art world since the 1930s.  After a year of research, the piece was authenticated as an official work by August Rodin.  Mallory will share the story of how a simple art cataloging project evolved into a search for a myterious piece's provenance and became one of the biggest art finds in recent history.  Library members may register by visiting our website.  For additional inquiries, please call the library.
