International Art Galleries
"International Art Galleries is the first book to examine the modern gallery phenomenon, offering over seventy-five portraits of art galleries from around the world. The galleries profiled have represented the finest artists of the last sixty years and have played a key role in defining the artistic zeitgeist. Organized decade-by-decade, each chapter is introduced by a brief historical sketch summarizing the social background of the decade in question. The galleries, which are assigned to the eras in which they enjoyed their greatest influence with the public, are introduced by a factual section detailing their foundation, proprietor, address and the artists represented, followed by a lively illustrated essay." "Lavishly illustrated throughout with photographs of artists, dealers and art world luminaries, this comprehensive history of the modern gallery system offers an intriguing and engaging new slant on the development of art since 1945"--Jacket.

Towards Tate Modern
Towards Tate Modern provides a new interdisciplinary account of Tate’s shifting position as a national arts institution. The book examines how earlier government directives impacted on Tate, which saw the organisation refocusing its aims and resulted in it pioneering new models for working across the public and private sectors. The decade prior to the opening of Tate Modern witnessed a changing political, economic, cultural and social landscape. As London was rebuilding its own vision, Tate re-configured its role as a public museum and gallery by engaging with the market. Tate re-imagined what a public museum and gallery can do, what it can look like and where it can be and, in doing so, r...

Radical Figures: Painting in the New Millennium
This timely publication, accompanying a brand new survey exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery, presents key works by some of the most exciting practitioners in current figurative painting.0After a long period dominated by abstraction and conceptual approaches, painting saw a revival of figuration in the 1990s by artists whose work updated portraiture and history painting but remained rooted in the conventions of realism. However a new generation, coming to prominence in the new millennium, are distinguished by a radically different approach to the figure, in which bodies are fragmented, morphed, merged and remade but never completely cohesive.0'Radical Figures' highlights the renewed interest i...
