Description
by Carol Duncan (Author)
Illustrated with over fifty photos, this book merges contemporary debates with lively discussion and explores central issues involved in the making and displaying of art as industry, and how it is presented to the community.
Back Jacket
In a groundbreaking study, Carol Duncan explores the function of art museums as ritual settings and as cultural artifacts that are much more than neutral shelters for art. She illuminates the ways in which museums in France, Britain and the U.S. engage their visitors in the performance of ritual scenarios and, through them, communicate and affirm ideas, values and social identities.
Author Biography
Carol Duncan teaches art history at Ramapo College of New Jersey. Her essays have been collected in The Aesthetics of Power (1993).
