Abstract (en)

Examines the pivotal role that the museum has played in modern culture, and the ways that artists have adapted to the museum's growing power, shaping their works with the museum in mind. Includes separate chapters on Jasper Johns and Frank Stella, analyzing their paintings in relation to the museum setting for which they are ultimately destined.
