'Exhibiting Outside the Academy, Salon and Biennial, 1775-1999 is unique in its contributions, ambitious in scope and approach, and succeeds in bringing together an impressive range of essays on a timely subject by specialists in the field. This volume fills an important lacuna and provides a welcome and much needed addition to the history of exhibitions and collections.' Dorothy Johnson, University of Iowa, USA'The publication is written in a style that is at once academic—presenting original arguments based on thorough, cited research—and accessibly lucid. The essays are, almost without exception, engaging and successful in their stated aims.... This volume is recommended for collections with a strong emphasis on exhibition history, the culture of display, and museology.' ARLIS
