The Americas, West Coast Chapter of the Society has been established to promote the study of collecting, from the early modern period to the present day. We will organize activities in Los Angeles and throughout the West Coast. Roundtables, talks, and tours will provide opportunities for scholars, experts, and art enthusiasts to connect and exchange ideas about the different aspects of collecting. Our aim is to create a network of knowledge and learning on the West Coast and among the members of the Society chapters on the East Coast, Paris, and London.
