"Spanning centuries and encompassing a variety of masterpieces - from paintings on canvas and cave walls to structures and jewellesry - this fascinating compendium of 'lost art' takes us on a historic journey and explores how and why art can disappear from our lives. Some works are missing, others were intentionally transformed, destroyed, or stolen. Working with the latest research and documentation, author Celine Delavaux brings each lost piece back to life through illuminating text and brilliant illustrations." -- Book jacket.

"'The Impossible Museum' is an exploration of the Thomas McCulloch Museum's history and collection through the lens of contemporary art ... D'Arcy Wilson's work includes one video projection of performances in natural history museums, a ready-made installation based on decoys from McCulloch's permanent collection, two site-specific floral installations that attempt to reconnect the birds to their original environment, a lightbox mimicking a diorama for the extinct Labrador Duck, and a rug with floral patterns inspired by McCulloch's showcases. Using the museum's glass walls as a diorama in itself, Amy Malbeuf presents an installation featuring six animal furs with safety vests hand sewn onto their skin. A portrait of the museum founder, Thomas McCulloch (1776-1843), has been replaced with a frame displaying two braided strands of hair--one from a caribou and one from the artist. Inherited from her grandfather, a coyote stretcher wrapped in 21st century commercial furs rests against a diorama, seemingly trapped. 'The Impossible Museum' foregrounds the interplay between artworks and artifacts, past and present temporalities, and colonial and Indigenous traditions. Archives have been carefully selected and displayed in a concerted effort to mobilize historical, sociological, and political facts within this multi-vocal exhibition"--Pages 4-6,

A witty, urbane, and sometimes shocking debut novel, set in a hallowed New York museum, in which a co-worker's disappearance and a mysterious map change a life forever Stella Krakus, a curator at Manhattan's renowned Central Museum of Art, is having the roughest week in approximately ever. Her soon-to-be ex-husband (the perfectly awful Whit Ghiscolmbe) is stalking her, a workplace romance with "a fascinating, hyper-rational narcissist" is in freefall, and a beloved colleague, Paul, has gone missing. Strange things are afoot: CeMArt's current exhibit is sponsored by a Belgian multinational that wants to take over the world's water supply, she unwittingly stars in a viral video that's making the rounds, and her mother--the imperious, impossibly glamorous Caro--wants to have lunch. It's almost more than she can overanalyze. But the appearance of a mysterious map, depicting a 19th-century utopian settlement, sends Stella--a dogged expert in American graphics and fluidomanie (don't ask)--on an all-consuming research mission. As she teases out the links between a haunting poem, several unusual novels, a counterfeiting scheme, and one of the museum's colorful early benefactors, she discovers the unbearable secret that Paul's been keeping, and charts a course out of the chaos of her own life. Pulsing with neurotic humor and dagger-sharp prose, Impossible Views of the World is a dazzling debut novel about how to make it through your early thirties with your brain and heart intact.

This critical bibliography of museum studies comprises an organized collection of essays on the various types of museums--art, natural history, history, science and technology, and folk--and on general aspects--collections, education, exhibitions, etc.--that cut across the media. Most of the essays are cogent, substantial if not comprehensive, and clear. The editor has taken care to see that they follow a similar format of historical essay followed by a full bibliography of items discussed. Library Journal As the number of museums in the United States has grown to more than 6500 in this century, the museum profession has experienced similar growth. In addition to academic training and accreditation programs in the field, an expanding body of literature on museum history, philosophy, and functions has evolved, little of which has received the critical attention it deserves. This reference volume serves as an up-to-date guide to this wealth of literature, identifying and evaluating works that introduce the general reader, the museum studies student, and the beginning professional to the history, philosophy, and functions of museums. The volume presents a series of informative, historical outlines and critical bibliographic essays on all aspects of museum history, philosophy, and functions. Contributors treat such subjects as art museums, natural history museums, science and technology museums, history museums, collections, exhibition, education and interpretation, and the public and museums. Each chapter consists of an introductory historical narrative, a survey of sources, and a bibliographic checklist that contains cited and additional sources. A set of appendices include a geographically organized bibliography of museum directories, a guide to archives and special collections, and a selective list of museum-related periodicals. The book concludes with a comprehensive general subject index. This work will be an important reference tool for museum professionals and cultural historians, as well as for courses in museum studies. It will also be a valuable addition to both academic and public libraries.

Andy Warhol’s explosive Pop Art and sharp commentary on advertising and celebrity culture are renowned and deeply relevant even decades after their creation. Though Warhol himself could be a polarizing figure both personally and professionally, there is no doubt that he was a pioneer of the Pop movement, and today, as a result, his works regularly fetch astronomical prices. In this evocative addition to Assouline’s Ultimate Collection, Warhol expert and former Andy Warhol Museum director Eric Shiner curates the 100 quintessential, unique works that define the evolution of this illustrious artist, tracing Warhol’s dynamic career from the late forties to the end of the eighties and creating a stunning compendium whose pieces, due to their rarity, value, and prestige as part of a museum or other collection, could simply never all be acquired by a single collector. Casual art lovers know Campbell’s Soup Cans and the Marilyn Diptych, but Andy Warhol: The Impossible Collection goes deeper, revealing and revisiting some less ubiquitous yet equally powerful pieces, spanning paintings, prints, sculpture, films, and photography, from Warhol’s astonishing oeuvre.

A valuable work of art is today's new intellectual currency. Modern art draws attention from a new jet set: for media moguls, hedge-fund managers, and Hollywood darlings, collecting is the entrée into an exclusive global community. Internationally renowned art dealers Philippe Ségalot and Franck Giraud build and break collections every day for high-profile art collectors. In The Impossible Collection, Ségalot and Giraud curate the ideal modern collection--in which money is no object and anything is possible. Whether locked into a museum's collection or available at the tip of a paddle, these works form a unique perspective on the greatest art achievements of the past century, illuminated in the introduction by Joachim Pissarro, great-grandson of Camille and a curator of painting and sculpture at New York's Museum of Modern Art. Author Philippe Ségalot joined Christie's in New York in 1996 as contemporary-art specialist before becoming the company's international head of contemporary art. Franck Giraud joined Christie's in New York as Impressionist-and-modern-art specialist in 1988 and became the international head of Impressionist and modern art at Christie's in 1996. The two men formed the New York and Paris-based art consultancy Giraud.Pissarro.Ségalot with partner Lionel Pissarro in 2001. ILLUSTRATIONS 100 images

Museum Bodies provides an account of how museums have staged, prescribed and accommodated a repertoire of bodily practices, from their emergence in the eighteenth century to the present day. As long as museums have existed, their visitors have been scrutinised, both formally and informally, and their behaviour calibrated as a register of cognitive receptivity and cultural competence. Yet there has been little sustained theoretical or practical attention given to the visitors' embodied encounter with the museum. In Museum Bodies Helen Rees Leahy discusses the politics and practice of visitor studies, and the differentiation and exclusion of certain bodies on the basis of, for example, age, gender, educational attainment, ethnicity and disability. At a time when museums are more than ever concerned with size, demographic mix and the diversity of their audiences, as well as with the ways in which visitors engage with and respond to institutional space and content, this wide-ranging study of visitors' embodied experience of the museum is long overdue.
