What is art history? The answer depends on who asks the question. Artists, museum professionals, academics, art critics, collectors and connoisseurs, dealers and auctioneers all share in the goals, achievements, methods and history of art history. Tied to and sustained by a host of competing institutions, art history remains a many-headed field of study. Art History and Its Institutions focuses on the institutional discourses that shaped and continue to shape the field from its foundation in the nineteenth century. From museums and universities to law courts, labour organisations and photography studios, contributors examine a range of institutions considering their impact on movements such as modernism, their role in conveying or denying legitimacy, and their impact of defining the parameters of the discipline. Frederic N. Bohrer, Kathryn Brush, David Carrier, Claire Farago, Ivan Gaskell, Marc Gottlieb, Helen Rees Leahy, Elizabeth Mansfield, Andrew McClellan, Maureen Meister, Mary G.
