Book Synopsis
Why did the history of art come into being? Is it now in danger of slipping into obsolescence? And, if so, should we care? This book proposes that we might reframe the questions concerning art history by asking what kind of writing might help the discipline to better imagine its actual practices - and its potential futures.

Trade Review
"Filled with rich and probing accounts of many of art history's most noted writers, this book shows how, through the writing of art history, deep changes have been encouraged and effected in our modes of contemplation and judgment." - Lydia Goehr, Columbia University"
