In 2006, the collection of 224 antiquities assembled by Walter
Kempner, M.D. was donated to the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke
University by Barbara Newborg, M.D. Ranging from the 3rd millennium
to the 3rd century B.C.E., the collection includes Mediterranean
antiquities such as Cycladic marble artifacts; Greek ceramics
attributed to significant Athenian painters, including the
Kleophrades Painter, the Athenian Painter, and the Matsch Painter;
and carved amber likely from an Etruscan workshop. In "The Past Is
Present," scholars and Duke University students present the
collection, including many objects that have never been published
before, and discuss its significance for art history, classics,
museum studies, and archaeology. The introductory essay by Kimerly
Rorschach, Director of the Nasher Museum, discusses the gift in the
context of current issues surrounding the acquisition of
antiquities and the aims of university museums.
