Reihe: Studies in Art Historiography

This edited collection traces the impact of monographic exhibitions on the discipline of art history from the first examples in the late 18th century through the present. Roughly falling into three genres (retrospectives of living artists, retrospectives of recently deceased artists, and monographic exhibitions of Old Masters), specialists examine examples of each genre within their social, cultural, political, and economic contexts. Exhbitions covered include Nathaniel Hone’s 1775 exhibition, Paul Delaroche’s exhibition, the Courbet retrospective of 1882 and the Holbein Exhibition of 1871.
