Okayish,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art Apart: Art Institutions and Ideology Across England and North America (Paperback)
As so often with such collections, this book seems less than the sum of its parts, suggesting a comprhensive theorization of exhibiting institutions but prioviding a compendium of essays the preoccupations of which already seem dated. Some transcend these limitations, such as the exploration of the founding of England's National Gallery, others seem simply plodding (the history of the V & A), yet others make 'radical' sounding gestures that seem to amount to very little in the end (the account of the Arts Council). The scholarship is generally good, but is sometimes dangerously sloppy - as in the last two mentioned contributions.
