The Best is Not Too Good for You
The role of philanthropy in public collections across the UK is explored in this landmark collaboration between the Contemporary Art Society and the Whitechapel Gallery. Drawing on the collections of regional museums, art and social reform, subjective notions of value, and the individual's relationship to collections are debated and explored. Ceramics and Pop Art sit in these pages alongside magic lanterns, demarcating the early origins of cinema, before moving on to an exploration of new technologies. Documenting four unique exhibitions at the Whitechapel Gallery over the course of a year, this publication includes newly commissioned texts exploring the complexity of collecting, exhibiting and curating in England today. With contributions from: Anna Colin, Matthew Darbyshire, Helen Kaplinsky, Helen Rees Leahy, Ingrid Swenson and Gaia Tedone.
British Contemporary Art 1910-1990
Many outstanding works of modern art in Britain's national and provincial art galleries were gifts of the Contemporary Art Society. This book contains some 100 of the most outstanding of the CAS purchases, which will also be exhibited in a South Bank exhibition in December/January 1991/2.
