The Curator's Handbook: Museums, Commercial Galleries

Product detailed description

​

The Curator’s Handbook by Adrian George is a practical manual that guides curators and students through all stages of exhibition preparation – from the initial idea, through fundraising, communication with artists and institutions, to promotion and final installation.

The introduction traces the history of curating from its beginnings in the 17th century and defines the diverse roles of today’s curator – from administrator, interpreter, and educator to organizer and facilitator.

In twelve chapters, the author describes in detail the key steps, tips, and pitfalls of each phase of the exhibition process, supplemented by the experiences of international curators and practical advice for successful project implementation.
