Saturday, November 7 | 1:00–2:00 pm By Simon Upton and Remy Renzullo Upton, the photographer, and Renzullo, the interior designer, will discuss how photography has influenced interior design and the way in which we remember historic interiors. “So many of our favorite interiors only exist today in photographs—a 3-dimensional space recorded and translated into a 2-dimensional one—proof, perhaps, that photography and interior design are irrefutably interlinked,” says Upton. A home may be private, but photography reveals and records the creativity imbued in it, the work of so many, from artisans and artists to architects and landscape designers. In his role as a photographer, Upton sees himself as a conduit, then, helping to illustrate and translate our interiors and our homes, thereby informing a wider audience of the design and aesthetic in which we live. Simon Upton is a photographer with more than thirty-five years of published work to his credit. He travels the world capturing people and their homes on behalf of the major publishing houses, in addition to working on his own photographic projects. He contributes regularly to a wide range of international magazines and newspapers including The World of Interiors, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Frederic, Veranda, Galerie, Town & Country, House & Garden, Harpers Bazaar, and Tatler. His first retrospective A–Z Interiors will be published by Rizzoli in September 2026. Remy Renzullo is an interior designer living and working between the United States, England, and Italy. Born and raised largely in rural New England, he developed a passion for history and eighteenth-century furniture at a young age. Renzullo founded his firm in 2016 and in the ensuing decade established himself as one of the leading designers of his generation. The firm has a strong focus on historical projects, where Renzullo’s research-based approach, combined with a rigorous dedication to traditional craftsmanship, has reinvigorated some of Europe’s most prestigious private houses.

Friday, November 6 | 1:30–2:30 pm By Kedra Kearis, Associate Curator of Art and Visual Culture, Winterthur This talk previews Winterthur’s upcoming major exhibition Becoming Peale (2027), which explores the art of the multigenerational Peale family. Placed in conversation with historical objects from Winterthur’s celebrated decorative arts collection, the exhibition brings the Peales’ close-knit artistic world to life while foregrounding underrepresented members of their circle and tracing the impact of industrialization and the art of photography on their art in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Friday, November 6 | 2:30–3:30 pm Very Courteously Entertained: Ceramic Tea Wares from James Logan’s Stenton By Dennis Pickeral, Executive Director, Stenton This presentation examines eighteenth-century ceramics associated with tea, coffee, and chocolate drinking from one of Philadelphia’s best-preserved historic houses, Stenton, including rare examples that descended through the Logan family and a large assemblage of excavated archaeological vessels.
