Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art at Twenty Years
"This brilliantly illustrated volume is the museum's first overall collection catalogue. It offers 50 highlights from the museum's five major collecting areas--African art, Asian art, contemporary art, modern art, and photography--as well as selections from its ancient American and Oceanic collections."--Publisher's website, http://www.upf.com/book.asp?id=STEUB001 viewed on Feb. 3, 2011.
American Selections
In advance of celebrating its twentieth anniversary, the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art presents this beautiful catalog of highlights of American art drawn from its permanent collection. Each work is represented by a full-page photograph and an accompanying description that places the piece and its creator in artistic and historical context. American Selections features eighty-eight works selected from the 2,490 American works in the museum's modern, contemporary, photography, and works on paper collections. The artists represented include Diane Arbus, Georgia O'Keeffe, Childe Hassam, Andy Warhol (the only artist included in the book twice), and many others, both well known and emerging. American painting of the first half of the twentieth century was one of the core collections when the Harn Museum opened its doors in 1990. In the two decades since, the American holdings have been greatly expanded, particularly with paintings, drawings, installations, and photographs from the second half of the century, thanks to the generosity of many donors.
African Art at the Harn Museum
"Insightful and profound."--Arthur P. Bourgeois, Governors State University, University Park, Illinois "More than just another exhibition catalogue. . . . The conceptual framework and orientation of the essay are original. [Poynor suggests] the complexity of African religious beliefs and the diversity of roles art plays in their manifestation."--Barbara Frank, SUNY-Stony Brook With dramatic color and black-and-white photographs of ninety-three pieces of art, African Art at the Harn Museum introduces the notable collection of West African art from the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art. In the traditional view of many Africans, the spiritual and temporal worlds depend upon each other for companions...
Monet and American Impressionism
"Published in conjunction with the exhibition Monet and American Impressionism, organized by the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, University of Florida, in partnership with Telfair Museums and Hunter Museum of American Art."

Project Europa
Project Europa: Imagining the (Im)Possible considers the relationship of art and artists to the promise of democracy after the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. Nineteen artists from Turkey to the British Isles explore the conflicts and contradictions of Europe's democratic dream while confronting a paradox: Europe as the site of possibility and impossibility for creating an egalitarian society.
