KARP, IVAN / LAVINE, STEVEN, ed. . Exhibiting cultures: the poetics and politics of museum display. Edited by Ivan Karp and Steven D. Lavine. Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1991, later printing number line ending in 4, x, 468pp., . "Throwing open to debate the practices of museums, galleries, and festivals, Exhibiting Cultures probes the often politically charged relationships among aesthetics, contexts, and implicit assumptions that govern how cultural differences and art objects are displayed. This innovative volume brings together museum directors and curators, art historians, anthropologists, folklorists, and historians to examine how diverse settings have appealed to audiences and represented the intentions and cultures of the makers of objects. The essays address such major issues in the politics of culture as how the learned experience of everyday life is used to make exhibitions comprehensible, what happens to minority and exotic arts when they are assimilated into the hegemonic context of the "great" museums, and why ethnographic museums have been neglected in an age of museum expansion. Based on a landmark conference sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution and the Rockefeller Foundation, the book comprises twenty-seven essays by eminent scholars and museum professionals, including Svetlana Alpers, Michael Baxandall, James Boon, James Clifford, B.N. Goswamy, Stephen Greenblatt, Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, Jane Livingston, Dawson Munjeri, Susan Vogel, Masao Yamaguchi, and Tomas Ybarra-Frausto." - CONTENTS: Introduction: Museums and Multiculturalism / Steven D.

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. Near fine condition. The catalog shows only the lightest evidence of handling and presents beautifully overall. The stapled wraps remain bright and clean, with minimal surface wear and faint toning along the spine fold. The front cover image—featuring a patriotic early 19th-century bandbox and a modernist shopping bag—is vivid and unmarred, with a tiny penciled price notation in the upper right corner. The rear wrapper, depicting the Cooper-Hewitt Museum façade, shows a few minor handling impressions but no staining or tears. The interior pages are crisp, smooth, and entirely unmarked, with sharp black-and-white reproductions throughout and no signs of foxing or fading. The staples are unrusted and secure, and the binding is tight. A well-preserved example of this 1978 Smithsonian Institution publication documenting decorative packaging design and consumer ephemera, particularly appealing to collectors of museum exhibition catalogs and American graphic design history.…
