The Art of Curating - Paul J. Sachs and the Museum Course at Harvard by Salle Anne Duncan
An influential force in the world of art and museum studies, Paul J. Sachs is widely credited with creating a course that trained a generation of art and museum professionals in the United States, putting most American museums in the hands of homegrown talent, by the mid-twentieth century.
This book is a compelling read for curators, academic art historians, museum studies scholars, and anyone interested in the history of art museums, the people behind them, and the historiography of art history--New Books network . . . the authors have steered a judicious path between the honorific and the circumspect in their story of a course that, a century later, is all the more interesting to consider. --The New Criterion
Sally Anne Duncan was visiting professor of art history and museum studies at Plymouth State College. Andrew McClellan is professor of art history at Tufts University. He is the author of The Art Museum from Boulee to Bilbao.
