About This Item
Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1997. viii, 267 pages, illustrations (some colour); 26 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light edgewear to wraps. Stated First Harvard University Press paperback edition. "The author explores how, over the last two centuries, museums have presented art objects outside their original context, effacing them, in order to represent them in a sequential ordering of styles. It is the sequence that artists such as Jasper Johns and Frank Stella have mirrored, even parodied. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of modern art and culture." - Publisher.. Paperback. Very Good. 4to.
