Notes: The aim of this workshop is to consider current work being done in analyzing methods of casting and replicating bronzes and the implications this has for understanding notions of the original, the reproduction, authorship and value. Drawing together colleagues working in a variety of areas, we will examine some bronzes at first hand, discuss the technical data available in specific cases, and explore the interpretative frameworks in which these different approaches might be used.
