CHAMPAIGN, ILL.- Nancy Karrels relishes solving the mysteries behind the paintings and objects we see in art museums. Karrels – a doctoral student in art history at the University of Illinois who also has two law degrees – investigates the backgrounds and histories of objects to trace their path from creator through each owner. She has created an exhibition for
Krannert Art Museum on provenance research and her efforts to document the history of ownership of several of the museum’s works. “
Provenance: A Forensic History of Art” opened May 13 and runs through June 2018. [
