Archaeology Lecture.
“Geology and the Getty Kouros:
6th-Century B.C.E. Masterpiece or 20th-Century C.E. Hoax?”
Norman Herz, geology. 7:30 p.m. 116 visual arts building.
Sponsored by classics department. 542-9264.
L.A.’s J. Paul Getty Museum recently sought help from archaeologists
when it questioned the authenticity of a Greek sculpture of a standing
nude male youth, known as a kouros,
after it purchased the piece for at least $7 million. One scientist
consulting on the project was Norman Herz, a UGA archaeological
geologist whose research program was pivotal in developing methods
for reading isotopic signatures of marble sources and thus dating
marble artifacts from Neolithic to modern times.
Herz found that marble samples of the Getty kouros
were inconsistent with what art historians knew about the sculpture:
first, the marble proved to be from the Aegean island of Thasos,
not Attica, which means the sculptor didn’t use Pentelic,
the marble known to be near his home; and second, when Herz’s
team tested the weathered surface of the marble they found its patina
was likely faked. Getty researchers claim to have found evidence
of long-term weathering over about 10 percent of the statue.
Herz will present both sides of the argument over the authenticity
of the kouros, which continues
to stand amid controversy as experts remain divided.

much as the dinosaurs who went before. It is a wild, hilarious romp
ending on a note of bitter irony.
