Description

Art/Museums takes the study of international relations to the art museum. It seeks to persuade those who study international relations to take art/museums seriously and museum studies to take up the insights of international relations. And it does so at a time when both international relations and art are said to be at an end-that is; out of control and beyond sight of their usual constituencies. The book focuses on the British Museum; the National Gallery of London; the Museum of Iraq; the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the Getty museums; the Guggenheim museums; and "museum" spaces instantly created by the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. The art includes works over which museums might struggle; acquire through questionable means; hoard and possibly lose; such as the Parthenon sculptures; Raphaels Madonna of the Pinks; the ancient art of Babylon; modern art; and the art/museum itself in an era of rapid museum expansion. Bringing art; museums; and international relations together draws on the art technique of collage; which combines disparate objects; themes; and time periods in one work to juxtapose unexpected elements; leaving the viewer to relate objects that are not where they are expected to be.
