Sometimes it’s simply forgotten.

From dusty archives to scattered records, Ryan shows how persistence, curiosity, and asking the right questions can piece together fragments of history. This isn’t just about recovering paintings. It’s about rediscovering the artists and stories that time nearly erased.About the Presenter – Ryan GreisRyan Greis is an artist and researcher with a passion for uncovering hidden stories in the art world.
