Synopsis
Published to accompany an exhibition opened at the Museum of Modern Art in March 1999, this volume contains the thoughts of artists of many persuasions on museums, their functions and spaces, their practices and politics, and their relationship to the art they contain. More than 60 artists are presented in a wide diversity of works: photographs of museum patrons by Henri-Cartier Bresson, Elliot Erwitt and Thomas Struth; "personal museums" and "cabinets of curiosities" by Charles Willson Peale, Marcel Duchamp, Claes Oldenburg and Mark Dion; fantasies of the destruction or transformation of the museums by Hubert Robert, Edward Ruscha and Christo; and more - photographs, paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, videos and installations - some created by contemporary artists especially for the exhibition. The international selection of work includes a number of apt but little-known manifestos, as well as more celebrated works in context. The book also contains an anthology of statements and writings by artists about museums.

Softcover. Grey color illustrated wraps with silver lettering on spine. 296 pp. Numerous color & bw plates. "The Museum as Muse: Artists Reflect surveys the ways in which artists, mostly of the present century, have addressed the museum, commented on its nature, confronted its concepts and functions, drawn from its methods, and examined its relationship to the art it contains. This lively, involving, and intellectually provocative presentation encompasses a tremendous variety of artworks, large and small, intimate and expansive, in mediums both familiar and surprising: paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, prints, videos, and installations. Fully illustrated with the works of an international cross section of more than sixty artists, this volume makes a substantial and lasting contribution to our understanding of the intertwining, continually metamorphosing relationship between artists and museums."--BOOK JACKET. "Published by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1999 on the occasion of the major exhibition The Museum as Muse: Artists Reflect, this book features an introductory essay by Kynaston McShine, Senior Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art and director of the exhibition. In the ensuing plate section, short entries by several authors on the art and artists accompany 233 full-color and black-and-white illustrations representing a wide diversity of works of art. Among them are photographs of people, art, spaces, and events taken inside museums, by such aritsts as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Elliott Erwitt, Eve Arnold, Garry Winogrand, and Thomas Struth. Personal museums and cabinets of curiosties, large and in miniature, have been created by Charles Willson Peale, Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Cornell, Claes Oldenburg, Fluxus, and Mark Dion; others have focused on fantastic images of the destruction or transformation of museums, such as the painter Hubert Robert (the first curator of the Louvre), Edward Ruscha, Komar and Melamid, and Christo."--BOOK JACKET. "This wealth of material is followed by an anthology of manifestos, statements, and meditations written by artists in this century; biographies and exhibition stories of the artists; and a bibliography of general and monographic publications." - dust jacket description.
