Visit the link in bio for “Salon Doré: The Past, The Present, and The Future with Dare Hartwell,” by Corcoran student Maximus Vogt (Art History and Fine Arts, ’26). Vogt recounts an evening spent with Dare Hartwell, former Head Conservator of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and Olivia Kohler-Maga, Assistant Director of the Luther W. Brady Art Gallery, delving into the history and future of the iconic 18th-century French period room. Originally part of the hôtel de Clermont in Paris’ Faubourg Saint-Germain, this stunning room’s paneling was acquired by William A. Clark and installed in his Fifth Avenue mansion. After his passing, it was relocated to the Corcoran Gallery. Vogt beautifully describes the majesty of the Salon, noting how “the afternoon sun transforms into heavenly light as it permeates the space and reflects off the magnificent gold.” We encourage you to read on and discover more! @gwuniversity, @gwucolumbian, @bradygallery
