This title was first published in 2000. London in the nineteenth
century saw the founding of the National Gallery, the National
Portrait Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the
Whitechapel Art Gallery. Other, less permanent, organisations
flourished, among them the British Institution, water-colour
societies and the Society of Female Artists. These worked alongside
the schools such as the Royal Academy and the Slade School of Art.
In this volume, eleven scholars, experts on the individual
institutions, analyse their complex histories to investigate such
issues as: How did they generate and redesign their publics? What
identities did they create? What practice of art making,
connoisseurship and spectatorship did they enshrine? These reports
elucidate the values associated with the key institutions and
describe the responses and adaptation over time to major cultural
developments: new movements, political change and the development
of the Empire. The volume as a whole offers a fascinating account
of the interconnections between these key institutions. Challenging
conventional readings of the subject, the Introduction, by Paul
Barlow and Colin Trodd, offers a definition of public art during
the Victorian period.
