文档介绍：ART HISTORY AND ITS
INSTITUTIONS
What is art history? The answer depends on who asks the question. Museum
staff, academics, art critics, collectors, dealers and artists themselves all stake
competing claims to the aims, methods, and history of art history. Dependent
on and sustained by different – and peting – institutions, art history
remains a multi-faceted field of study.
Art History and Its Institutions focuses on the professional and institutional
formation of art history, showing how the discourses that shaped its creation
continue to define the field today. Grouped into three sections, articles examine
the sites where art history is taught and studied, the role of institutions in
conferring legitimacy, the relationship between modernism and art history, and
the systems that define and control it. From museums and universities to law
courts and photography studios, the contributors explore a range of different
institutions, revealing plexity of their interaction and their impact on
the discipline of art history.
