Taylor, who has an art forensics laboratory in New York, was invited to speak about science and art—specifically issues of art forgery, which are analyzed in his lab. Taylor was invited to be a keynote speaker at the All-Russia Science Festival.
Organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the science festival is held in many regions throughout Russia with thousands of scientifically oriented events and approximately 2 million attendees.
While in Russia for the festival, Taylor was invited to speak at Lomonosov Moscow State University’s Art History Department. That visit was part of an initiative to discuss possible student exchanges between Lomonosov Moscow State’s Art History Department and Western’s MGES program, which is a graduate program that prepares students for careers in the art business.
Taylor’s lab in Brooklyn also was featured earlier this year on an episode of CNBC’s “The Filthy Rich Guide” (Season 3, Episode 304).
