Reviews

Charting a shifting role for curators, this title reveals arts professionals as becoming brokers of a sort, mediating the interests of artists, arts institutions, social activists, and museumgoers... The institutional critiques articulated here will move art museums away from longstanding bias, toward exhibiting artists previously excluded... At its most convincing, when citing statistics proving how seldom museums display art by overlooked and marginalized groups, this book will surely energize those already in agreement.
