In addition to working on your press releases, please read the following chapters and answer these questions in your gallery blog. Responses must be posted by Friday, February 24.
In Barbara A. Beall-Fofana, Understanding the Art Museum, please read Ch. 4 "How Do Museums Know What They Know?" and Ch. 9, "Ongoing Challenges."
Answer the following "For Your Consideration" at the end of Ch. 4:
What is provenance and why is it such an important issue in the art world? The Universal Leonardo project, launched in 2005, focuses on the techniques and processes used by Leonardo da Vinci rather than claiming to determine attribution. Why do you think this shift has taken place?
AND the following "For Your Consideration" at the end of Ch. 9:
Review the information presented in Ch. 8 on Marcel Duchamp's work called Fountain (see Fig. 12). If you had been on the committee that decided what could and could not be exhibited at the American Society of Independent Artists, where Fountain was first exhibited, would you have allowed this work to be in the show? Why or why not? What would have been your criteria for acceptance or rejection?
