Sculpture and the Museum is the first in-depth examination of the
varying roles and meanings assigned to sculpture in museums and
galleries during the modern period, from neo-classical to
contemporary art practice. It considers a rich array of curatorial
strategies and settings in order to examine the many reasons why
sculpture has enjoyed a position of such considerable importance -
and complexity - within the institutional framework of the museum
and how changes to the museum have altered, in turn, the ways that
we perceive the sculpture within it. In particular, the
contributors consider the complex issue of how best to display
sculpture across different periods and according to varying
curatorial philosophies. Sculptors discussed include Canova, Rodin,
Henry Moore, Flaxman and contemporary artists such as Rebecca Horn,
Rachel Whiteread, Mark Dion and Olafur Eliasson, with a variety of
museums in America, Canada and Europe presented as case studies.
Underlying all of these discussions is a concern to chart the
critical importance of the acquisition, placement and display of
sculpture in museums and to explore the importance of sculptures as
a forum for the expression of programmatic statements of power,
prestige and the museum's own sense of itself in relation to its
audiences and its broader institutional aspirations.
