About this product
Product Information
How have art museums changed in the past century? Where are they headed in the future? Charles Saumarez Smith is uniquely qualified to answer these questions, having been at the helm of three major institutions over the course of his distinguished career. For The Art Museum in Modern Times , Saumarez Smith has undertaken an odyssey, visiting art museums across the globe and examining how the experience of art is shaped by the buildings that house it. His story starts with the Museum of Modern Art in New York, one of the first museums to focus squarely on the art of the present rather than the past. When it opened in 1939, MoMA's boldly modernist building represented a stark riposte to the neoclassicism of most earlier art museums. From there, Saumarez Smith investigates dozens of other museums, including the Tate Modern in London, the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the West Bund Museum in Shanghai, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. He explores our shifting reasons for visiting museums, changes to the way exhibits are organized and displayed, and the spectacular new architectural landmarks that have become destinations in their own right. Global in scope yet full of personal insight, this fully illustrated celebration of the modern art museum will appeal to art lovers, museum professionals, and museum goers alike.

There are few people as perfectly suited to give an overview of the pre-COVID museum landscape than Charles Saumarez Smith. Respected by the entire museum field, he has directed three major institutions, each with notable success. His last appointment, as CEO of the Royal Academy, saw the Academy flourish, with new capital projects and award-winning exhibitions. Insightful, witty, playful and ironic, who better to guide a reader through the confusing terrain of the past several decades of the 'museum boom'?, Former National Portrait Gallery director Smith examines how museums' architecture and design has elevated the experience of art in this perceptive and generously illustrated volume... Insightful and thought provoking, this work is required reading for cultural historians, art connoisseurs, and museumgoers., Lively, informative... The author has insider knowledge of the needs of present-day institutions dedicated to showing art... A good read., A work of art... Abounds with gorgeously reproduced black-and-white and color photos--of buildings and galleries, of their creators--that help the author tell the stories of each of 43 art spaces... Engaging [and] memorable., A wise and insightful tour of our most successful art museums. One couldn't ask for a better informed or more congenial guide. Highly recommended., I love the style, tone and perspective, the personal experience present along the way, and theopen mode of thinking and reflecting on what is seen. That is rare in museum literature and givesa special authority and also a thrill to the text., A brisk tour through around forty art museums around the world... The diversity of museums in the book is rich and rewarding., Charles Saumarez Smith has written a deeply important and original book, drawing on a lifetime of experience in the worlds of art, museums, and culture. It combines humane and thoughtful generalizations about the place and purpose of galleries today with vivid evocations of particular art museums from around the world. Beautifully written and deftly constructed, it is a landmark work.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
