Tekst achterflap

This essayistic exhibition catalogue reflects on the nature and the architecture of artist museums through twelve well-chosen examples from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries such as Thorvaldsens Museum, the Lehmbruck Museum, or Casa das Histórias Paula Rego. How do artist cult, oeuvre overview, context, studio memory or historical imagination take shape in monographic museum buildings? Which museum plans do artists, heirs, collectors, architects and curators make?
The book also includes three photo inserts by Caroline Vincart.
