"This book deserves a place on the museum-studies reading list and
on the bookshelf of anyone seriously interested in the cultural
place of museums today. Its lucid, observant essays take an
informed look at a now ubiquitous institution, offering new points
of view about the nature of the museum experience. Art and its
Publics provides a welcome corrective to the presumption that
art museums are monolithic institutions that narrowly control the
perceptions and discussions of their visitors." Diana Strazdes,
University of California, Davis
"Art and its Publics launches a much-needed exploration
of art's audiences beginning with McClellan's ‘A Brief
History of the Art Museum Public,’ an essay which is well
worth the book's price alone." Jeffrey Abt, Wayne State
University
"A stimulating and provocative review of the range of diverse exhibition strategies used by art museum curators as they endeavor to engage multiple audiences in different aspects of art." Eilean Hooper-Greenhill, University of Leicester
