Museum and Gallery Publishing examines the theory and practice of
general and scholarly publishing associated with museum and art
gallery collections. Focusing on the production and reception of
these texts, the book explains the relevance of publishing to the
cultural, commercial and social contexts of collections and their
institutions. Combining theory with case studies from around the
world, Sarah Anne Hughes explores how, why and to what effect
museums and galleries publish books. Covering a broad range of
publishing formats and organisations, including heritage sites,
libraries and temporary exhibitions, the book argues that the
production and consumption of printed media within the context of
collecting institutions occupies a unique and privileged role in
the creation and communication of knowledge. Acknowledging that
books offer functions beyond communication, Hughes argues that this
places books published by museums in a unique relationship to
institutions, with staff acting as producers and visitors as
consumers.The logistical and ethical dimensions of museum and
gallery publishing are also examined in depth, including
consideration of issues such as production, the impact of digital
technologies, funding and sponsorship, marketing, co-publishing,
rights, and curators' and artists' agency. Focusing on an important
but hitherto neglected topic, Museum and Gallery Publishing is key
reading for researchers in the fields of museum, heritage, art and
publishing studies. It will also be of interest to curators and
other practitioners working in museums, heritage and science
centres and art galleries.
