This volume originates from an international conference (Oxford University， 2007). Texts address plaster casts and related themes from antiquity to the present day， and from Egypt to America， Mexico and New Zealand. They are of interest to classical archaeologists， art historians， the history of collecting， curators， conservators， collectors and artists. Articles explore the functions， status and reception of plaster casts in artists′ workshops and in private and public collections， as well as hands-on issues， such as the making， trading， display and conservation of plaster casts. Case-studies on artists′ use of material and technique include ancient Roman copyists， Renaissance sculptors and painters， Dutch 17th-century workshops， Canova， Boccioni and others. A second theme is the role of plaster casts in the history of collecting from the Renaissance to the present day.
