Abstract

In February 1992 a magazine called The Connoisseur died. Born in September 1901, it had lived a long life, and was the oldest of the once great triumvirate of British art periodicals, alongside The Burlington Magazine (1903) and Apollo (1925). While the latter two have survived into the 21st century, in 1982 The Connoisseur went into retirement and moved to America. This paper will tell the story of the last 15 years of the magazine’s life, from its happy 75th birthday through to an ignominious final eight months.

For example, in October 1911 the cover of The Connouseur offered a reward of £2000 for the return of Leonardo’s stolen Mona Lisa, or in May and October 1966 we find editorials entided “A Matter of Attributions” and Optimistic Attributions”, warning collectors about unscrupulous dealers and peudo-connoisseurs. Hoving seems to have been a pioneer on the issue of repatriation, and in his 1996 book FA impressions: the hunt for big-time art fakes, narrates much of me investigative journalism undertaken by the 1980s Connoisseur.Google Scholar
