Only thirty-nine when he took over the National Gallery in 1955, Jarvis already had an extraordinary record of achievement and social mobility at home and in England: he had trained with Canada's greatest artists, won a Rhodes scholarship, lunched at the Algonquin Round Table in New York, managed an aircraft factory, written a bestseller, produced films, run a slum settlement, and moved in a London social circle that included Noël Coward and Vivien Leigh. As head of the National Gallery, Jarvis was a provocative public educator, advocating his idea of "a museum without walls" in countless public appearances. Instrumental in bringing modern art to the National Gallery, he shook artists and the art-minded public out of a period of national complacency. This first detailed account of the controversy surrounding his time at the gallery provides an important context for the ongoing and contested role of publicly supported arts and art institutions in this country.

Joanna Grabski and Carol Magee bring together a compelling collection that shows how interviews can be used to generate new meaning and how connecting with artists and their work can transform artistic production into innovative critical insights and knowledge. The contributors to this volume include artists, museum curators, art historians, and anthropologists, who address artistic production in a variety of locations and media to question previous uses of interview and provoke alternative understandings of art.

This absorbing biography, often conveyed through Peter Selz's own words, traces the journey of a Jewish-German immigrant from Hitler's Munich to the United States and on to an important career as a pioneer historian of modern art. Paul J. Karlstrom illuminates key historical and cultural events of the twentieth-century as he describes Selz's extraordinary career-from Chicago's Institute of Design (New Bauhaus), to New York's Museum of Modern Art during the transformative 1960's, and as founding director of the University Art Museum at UC Berkeley. Karlstrom sheds light on the controversial viewpoints that at times isolated Selz from his colleagues but nonetheless affirmed his conviction that significant art was always an expression of deep human experience. The book also links Selz's long life story-featuring close relationships with such major art figures as Mark Rothko, Dore Ashton, Willem de Kooning, Sam Francis, and Christo-with his personal commitment to political engagement.

In the context of critical museology, museums are questioning their social role, defining the museum as a site for knowledge exchange and participation in creating links between past and present. Museum education has evolved as a practice in its own right, questioning, expanding and transforming exhibitions and institutions. How does museum work change if we conceive of curating and education as an integrated practice? This question is addressed by international contributors from different types of museums. For anyone interested in the future of museums, it offers insights into the diversity of positions and experiences of translating the »grand designs« of museology into practice.

L’accès aux trésors artistiques est à la fois ouvert à tous et interdit en fait au plus grand nombre. Qu’est-ce qui sépare des autres ceux qui fréquentent les musées ? Les amoureux de l’art vivent leur amour comme affranchi des conditions et des conditionnements. Ne fallait-il pas qu’ils fussent prédisposés à recevoir la grâce pour aller à sa rencontre et pour l’accueillir ? Pourtant, le musée est un des lieux où l’on ressent le plus vivement le poids des obligations mondaines : la pratique obligée peut-elle conduire à la vraie délectation ou bien le plaisir cultivé est-il irrémédiablement marqué par l’impureté de ses origines ? Chaque visiteur des musées est enclin à suspecter la sincérité des autres : mais ne trahit-il pas par là qu’il sait que son amour doit aux arguments de la raison et à la force de la coutume autant qu’à l’inspiration du cœur ? Ce livre essaie d’apporter à la question des réponses sociologiques, c’est-à-dire à la fois logiques et empiriques. Sans craindre de manquer au bon goût, il prétend soumettre le bon goût à la rigueur de l’examen scientifique. En mettant en évidence les conditions sociales de l’accession à la pratique cultivée, il fait voir que la culture n’est pas un privilège de nature mais qu’il faudrait et qu’il suffirait que tous possèdent les moyens d’en prendre possession pour qu’elle appartienne à tous. La présente édition est augmentée des résultats des enquêtes menées dans cinq pays européens : l’Espagne, la Grèce, l’Italie, les Pays-Bas, la Pologne.

Partizipation gehört zu den langlebigen Trends im Museum. Seitdem in den 1970er Jahren die Forderung nach einer sozial und politisch engagierten Museumspraxis laut wurde, entwickelte sich der Diskurs weltweit. In verschiedenen Sprachregionen entstanden unterschiedliche »Schulen« und Traditionen: die Sociomuseology/Social Museology, New Museology, die Nouvelle muséologie oder Écomuséologie. Dieser Band versammelt Vertreter*innen dieser Museumstraditionen und zeichnet ihre unterschiedlichen Entwicklungen nach. Sie alle teilen die Vorstellung einer gesellschaftspolitisch engagierten Museumspraxis, für die Partizipation eine grundlegende Bedeutung hat. »Die Beiträge sind inspirierend, weil sie Wege nach- und aufzeigen, wie Museen gesellschaftsrelevante Räume sein können, in denen sich die Stadtgesellschaft zum Diskurs und zum Austausch über unter Umständen höchst konträre Erinnerungen, Erfahrungen und Überzeugungen begegnet.« Susanne Abeck, forum Geschichtskultur Ruhr, 2 (2020) »Als guter Überblick über internationale Positionen der Partizipation ist die Publikation wichtig und empfehlenswert. Ebenso dient sie als deutschsprachige Einführung in die bisher wenig bekannte Soziomuseologie.« Cindy Bleser, https://www.kulturmanagement.net, 14.10.2020 »Ein hilfreiches und inspirierendes Werkzeug bei der Genese und Reflexion von partizipativer Museumsarbeit. Erfreulich ist, dass die Autor/innen über den deutschen Kontext hinaus Projekte vorstellen und im Sinne der Sociomuseologie betonen, dass Ausstellen immer politisch ist.« Patrick Helber, H-Soz-u-Kult, 19.06.2020 Besprochen in: Newsletter Museumsverband Niedersachsen und Bremen e.V., 6 (2020) Kulturpolitische Mitteilungen, 170/3 (2020), Michael Wimmer Die Schweizer Museumszeitschrift, 16 (2020)
