How museums are changing to embrace a more inclusive vision of American artUS museums have faced increasing pressure to reckon with their histories in light of movements against racism, violence, and the erosion of human rights here and abroad. Self-reflection and transformation have emerged in tandem with a focus on incorporating antiracism and decolonization in museum practice. Fundamental to these shifts is the idea that one cannot tell the story of American art without Native American, African American, Asian American, and Latinx art. Featuring innovative scholarship and approaches from art history, anthropology, gender and sexuality studies, history, and ethnic studies, the curators and scholars in this volume write about transforming theory and methodology into museum practice as they reflect on the challenges and possibilities for expanding the canon of American art. Beyond the shortcomings of traditional curatorial approaches, they demonstrate how sustained dialogue, community engagement, and curatorial collaboration have fueled important changes to art curation. A progress report and a how-to guide, this collection considers the flawed past and inclusive future for how American art is displayed and taught.

Knowing the West encourages deeper consideration of a familiar topic, to celebrate the wide variety of cultures that together reflect the complex histories and stories of the American West. Astonishing in range, historical significance, medium, and quality, more than 120 artworks by Native American and non-Native artists are presented including textiles, baskets, paintings, pottery, sculpture, beadwork, saddles, and prints honoring a large percentage of women-makers, in particular. The artworks are shown in meaningful dialogue, such as a California basket by Elizabeth Hickox (Wiyot/Karuk), juxtaposed with a large-scale California landscape by Albert Bierstadt, emphasizing influence and exchange and pointing out different ways of thinking about land and place. Multiple texts by a diverse range of scholars with broad-reaching perspectives explore topics such as Lakota winter counts, saddle designs, Euro-American artists as collectors, printmaking, diplomacy, Hispanic art traditions at the border, and Pueblo and Hopi potters. This unprecedented volume includes artworks from the late 18th to early 20th centuries from more than 35 distinct tribal nations alongside American artists.
