Art History and Its Institutions focuses on the institutional discourses that shaped and continue to shape the field from its foundations in the nineteenth century. From museums and universities to law courts, labour organizations and photography studios, contributors examine a range of institutions, considering their impact on movements such as modernism; their role in conveying or denying legitimacy; and their impact on defining the parameters of the discipline.

This review is from: Art History and Its Institutions: The Nineteenth Century (Paperback)
This book is a jewel. The essays trace a genealogy (in a Foucaultian way) of the ways and substrates in which art history has come into being and the institutions and epistemologies it promotes. It is an incredibly interesting book that will clear lots in the Visual Cultures vs. Art History debate.
