Free Webinar: Jurassic Icons

This December, Christie’s will offer three extraordinary dinosaurs for auction: a battle-scarred stegosaurus and an adult and a juvenile allosaurus. Discovered in Wyoming’s fossil-rich landscape, these iconic specimens reveal some of the Jurassic world’s most famous predators and prey. Excavated in Como Bluff, the territory of the famous nineteenth-century dinosaur ‘Bone Wars’, these fossils offer remarkable insights into Jurassic life.

Join Christie’s Education for an exclusive free webinar hosted by James Hyslop, Christie’s Head of Science and Natural History, in conversation with Rudi Pohl, who led the team who worked on the skeletons, as they discuss stories of the discovery, recovery and preservation of dinosaurs, and the history of dinosaurs and the art market.

This talk examines the global phenomenon of street photography, taking in work by artists in India, Great Britain, Mexico and Hungary.
