About this copy
This is the first edition (1999) of this volume in the 'Art and its Histories' series (no. 6), a set of essays examining museums, exhibitions, and the display of art in contemporary culture, with contributions from Emma Barker, Christoph Grunenberg, Sandy Nairne, Elsbeth Court, Nick Webb, and Fionna Barber. Issued in paperback as part of an Open University course.
This copy is the softcover edition, with a pictorial cover featuring photographic imagery of preserved fish specimens (from Damien Hirst's 'Swimming in the Same Direction for the Purpose of Understanding').
