Below this, a more substantial article is clipped from the Cambridge Chronicle, April 15, 1982. Its headline reads:

Fogg exhibit honors Prof. Hanfmann

The article celebrates the accomplishments of George M. A. Hanfmann, a distinguished archaeologist, teacher, and scholar of ancient art, and the John E. Hudson Professor of Archaeology at Harvard. It highlights his tenure of nearly 47 years, his role in excavating the ancient city of Sardis in Turkey, and his curatorship of the Fogg Museum's collection of ancient art.

Key points from the article:

• It announces a major exhibition titled “Dialogue with Antiquity: The Curatorial Achievement of George M. A. Hanfmann,” which was on view at the Fogg from May 7 to June 20, 1982.
• The exhibition showcases over 70 objects from the museum’s collection that Hanfmann acquired or influenced—works in marble, bronze, ceramic, stone, and metal.
• Hanfmann’s acquisitions were notable for their high artistic quality and scholarly value, often acquired at unusually low prices through his “uncanny knack” and personal connections.
• The article references his 1963 publication, “Studies in Roman Portraiture,” and mentions his contributions to scholarly publications like “Ancient Art in American Private Collections” and “Master Bronzes of the Classical World.”
• His legacy includes not only building an exceptional collection but also inspiring others to deepen their scholarly engagement with ancient art.
