The Art Market and the Museum
This book considers how art market stakeholders, including art dealers, collectors and agents, have shaped museum collections and affected exhibition practices since the mid-nineteenth century.

Heir Through Hope
Over forty years Thomas Jefferson and William Short forged a deep and intense relationship that both characterized in paternal and filial terms. Heir through Hope examines this relationship and its impact on Jefferson's moral and political judgments--on revolutionary violence, the economics of slavery, the value of marriage--central to his wider thought.
Activating Democracy
Driven by a powerful belief in the value of free expression, Sheryl Oring has for more than a decade been helping people across the United States voice concerns about public affairs through her 'I Wish to Say' project. This book uses that project as the starting point for an exploration of a series of issues of public interest being addressed by artists today. It features essays by contributors ranging from art historians and practicing artists to scholars and creators working in literature, political science and architecture. All the contributors offer a different approach, but they share a primary goal of sparking a dialogue not just among makers of art, but among viewers, readers and the concerned public at large. The resulting volume will be an essential resource for politically engaged contemporary artists searching for innovative, cross-disciplinary ways of making and sharing art.
