Guarding the Art
Description:... "Here the guardians of art have been positioned front and center as curators of the art they guard. It is an institutional step forward that reflects the current discourses in American museums, in particular, that interrogate the presentation of objects, their origins and their acquisition. Additionally, that involves expanding the interpretation of those objects to acknowledge multiple and diverse voices, opinions and readings that go beyond established ones, as well as accommodating perspectives that emanate from the specific cultural contexts from which many of the objects may have been divorced."--Back cover
