Katalog der Thomas-Mann-Sammlung der Universitatsbibliothek Dusseldorf, Band 6, Alphabetischer Katalog. Schr - Z
This is the first sourcebook to trace the emergence and evolution of art markets in the Western European economy, framing them within the larger narrative of the ascendancy of capitalist markets. Selected writings from across academic disciplines present compelling evidence of art's inherent commercial dimension and show how artists, dealers, and collectors have interacted over time, from the city-states of Quattrocento Italy to the high-stakes markets of postmillennial New York and Beijing.

Digital media technologies have provided an occasion not only for novel ways to display and exhibit collections, but also for new politics to arise as museums and urban settings change. While some believe these changes are driven by humans, others see digital media technologies at the heart of these changes. Reconfiguring the Museum offers a third explanation that considers both the social and technical together and thereby captures the experimental nature of introducing novel digital media tech...

The arts and creative sector is one of the nation's broadest, most important, and least understood social and economic assets, encompassing both nonprofit arts and cultural organizations, for-profit creative companies, such as advertising agencies, film producers, and commercial publishers, and community-based artistic activities. The thirteen essays in this timely book demonstrate why interest in the arts and creative sector has accelerated in recent years, and the myriad ways that the arts are...
Museums go International (Cultural Management and Cultural Policy Education, #5)
by Rebecca Amsellem
Environmentally friendly practices are crucial to the mission of museums, which, as houses of preservation, are uniquely suited to modeling green behavior and sustainability.

As environmental sustainability becomes the rule rather than the...
Creating Great Visitor Experiences (American Alliance of Museums)

Museums in a Digital Age (Leicester Readers in Museum Studies)
The influence of digital media on the cultural heritage sector has been pervasive and profound. Today museums are reliant on new technology to manage their collections. They collect digital as well as material things. New media is embedded within their exhibition spaces. And their activity online is as important as their physical presence on site. However, ‘digital heritage’ (as an area of practice and as a subject of study) does not exist in one single place. Its evidence base is complex, div...
Unconcealed: The International Network of Conceptual Artists, 1967–77
by Sophie Richard
"The book is an impressive work of scholarship" – Studio International "Richard set about to produce a study of distribution networks, and achieved this through immaculate and thorough research. It is no criticism of the book to say that there are many questions left unexplored ... As scholars of the future think through these and other questions, they will remain grateful to Richard’s extraordinary and meticulous scholarship." – Mark Godfrey, Frieze Emerging in the late 1960s, conceptual art...
Over the last two decades, the encyclopedic museum has been criticized and praised, constantly discussed, and often in the news. Encyclopedic museums are a phenomenon of Europe and the United States, and their locations and mostly Eurocentric collections have in more recent years drawn attention to what many see as bias. Debates on provenance in general, cultural origins, and restitutions of African heritage have exerted pressure on encyclopedic museums, and indeed on all matter of museums. Is t...
The Authorship, Authentication and Falsification of Artworks
by Lluis Penuelas
Determining the authorship and originality of artistic works is essential for fully enjoying art, and for the correct functioning of the market and many cultural centres. It is one of the tasks falling not only to institutions but also to artists' foundations, museums, public administrations, academics, gallery owners and art collectors. All those involved with this part of the artistic world encounter problems. This book, derived from an international seminar organised by the Gala-Salvador Dali...
How do we judge what is good in art? Or more to the controversial point, can we judge art?

Part personal memoir, part thinking person's guide to the museum, The Quality Instinct is filled with wit and humor, anecdotes, and insights from the author's 30 years in the highly competitive, often contentious art world.
