The Failure of the White Cube - From the 19th Century Moralist Art Museum to the 21st Century Civic Art Museum

This provocative book bridges the gap between theoretical academic writings and practical museum curating, tracing the journey from 19th-century moralist art museums to today's 21- st century inclusive civic art museums via a sustained critique of the 20th-century formalist and hetero-normative white cube model of curating in art museums.
