Museum of the Missing: A History of Art Theft

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The true story behind the blank spaces on the museum walls. What kind of person would dare to steal a legendary painting—and who would buy something so instantly recognizable? In recent years, art theft has captured the public imagination more than ever before, spurred by both real life incidents (the snatching of Edvard Munch’s well-known masterwork The Scream ) and the glamorous fantasy of such Hollywood films as The Thomas Crown Affair . The truth is, according to INTERPOL records, more than 20,000 stolen works of art are missing—including Rembrandts, Renoirs, van Goghs, and Picassos. Museum of the Missing offers an intriguing tour through the underworld of art theft, where the stakes are high and passions run strong. Not only is the volume beautifully written and lavishly illustrated—if all the paintings presented here could be gathered in one museum it would be one of… [detailed...]

Museums for the 21st Century

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: If since the end of the 18th century and throughout the nineteenth the museum was consolidated as a new public institution, at the beginning of the 21st century the museum has become a place for the massive influx of an active public and has become integrated into consumer culture in its broadest sense. The museum`s relationship with the city and society, as a generator of large urban spaces and a magnet for tourists, has also contributed to the total mutation of the museum`s traditional building type. Profusely illustrated with examples of recent museums, this book is organised into eight chapters, each describing one of the eight trends that can be considered the predominant forms of contemporary museums.

Museums in the 21st Century: Concepts, Projects, Buildings

2008 y.
Publisher: Prestel
Description: The general popularity of contemporary museum buildings began in the 1970s. The Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris demonstrated how a museum could open itself up to the city, how it could become a public forum and shed its cloak of pathos. As a consequence, museums acquired increasingly manifold functions over and above their central duties of collecting, conserving and educating. They became meeting places and venues for events, provided towns or entire regions with a platform for their own aims, but also served as a point of identification in an increasingly global environment. The days in which museums simply preserved and presented works of art are long gone. Contemporary museum buildings have to meet any number of new requirements. `Museums in the 21st Century: Concepts, Projects, Buildings` discusses the most important trends in modern architecture and, at the same time, documents increasingly intensive exchanges on an international level, portraying outstanding,… [detailed...]

Music And History: Bridging The Disciplines

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book begins with a simple question: Why haven?t historians and musicologists been talking to one another? Historians frequently look to all aspects of human activity, including music, in order to better understand the past. Musicologists inquire into the social, cultural, and historical contexts of musical works and musical practices to develop theories about the meanings of compositions and the significance of musical creation. Both disciplines examine how people represent their experiences. This collection of essays, the first of its kind, argues that the conversation between scholars in the two fields can become richer and more mutually informing. The volume opens with an eloquent personal essay by historian Lawrence Levine, whose works have inspired a whole generation of scholars working on African American music in American history. The essays that follow are original contributions to the project of bridging the disciplines of history and… [detailed...]
