Robert Hull Fleming Museum Architectural Improvisation: A History of Vermont's Design: Build Movement 1964-1977
Arcitectural Improvisations examines the work of a group of architects who converged in Vermont's Mad River Valley in the mid-1960s. Lead essayist Danny Sagan traces the development of the Design/Build movement from its roots in Bauhaus theory at Yale School of Architecture in the early 1960s to the architectural manifestations of its radical aesthetic, social, and technological experimentation. An essay by historian Kevin Dann explores Vermont's draw, throughout the 20th century, on individuals seeking creative freedoms in a rural setting. The publication includes archival photographs and drawings, new architectural photographs, and documentary materials that explicate the design-builders' theory, process, and resulting structures. The text and illustrations come together in a stunning celebration of the Design/Build movement.

Robert Hull Fleming Museum Dark Goddess: An Exploration of the Sacred Feminine
What does it mean when an item within a museum talks back? How are the concepts of the trained gaze, the panopticon, and the sacred feminine connected? Artist and writer Shanta Lee Gander probes these questions and more in Dark Goddess: An Exploration of the Sacred Feminine. This book accompanies the exhibition of Gander's photo series of the same name, on view at the Fleming Museum of Art at the University of Vermont from February 8 to December 9, 2022. This innovative exhibition catalogue features essays by University of Vermont professors Dr. Vicki L. Brennan (Department of Religion) and Dr. Emily Bernard (Department of English), alongside interviews with Gander's models for the Dark Goddess series, and original written work inspired by items in the Fleming Museum of Art's collection. Conceived in tandem, the publication and exhibition weave together themes of the human gaze, an artist's self-inquiry, history, ethnography, and an exploration of the duality of sacred and profane.

Robert Hull Fleming Museum Staring Back: On Picasso's Demoiselles d'Avignon
The catalogue of a 2015 exhibit at the Fleming Museum. Picasso's major 1907 painting, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, created an uproar in the Paris art world and laid the foundation for the development of Cubism. The Fleming Museum's exhibition explored Picasso's extraordinary process in creating the painting, through innovative installations and advanced technologies that transformed the museum experience. The painting's ongoing legacy is examined through the work of a diverse group of American, African, and European contemporary artists. Picasso found inspiration for Demoiselles in art history and contemporary visual culture. Through a variety of new visual technologies, visitors to the exhibit could understand how he synthesized and transformed these diverse sources - from Iberian, African, Oceanic, and Egyptian art to Baroque painting, Cezanne's and Gauguin's work, and colonial photographers' images of African women - to launch a radically new artistic vocabulary. The largest section of the exhibition highlighted the continuing pull of the painting - over 100 years after its creation - as evidenced in the work of international artists, including Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou, Gerri Davis, Damian Elwes, Julian Friedler, Kathleen Gilje, Carlo Maria Mariani, Sophie Matisse, Stas Orlovski, and Jackson Tupper.

Robert Hull Fleming Museum Wood Gaylor and American Modernism, 1913-1936
Wood Gaylor was a prime mover in the modern art world of New York City and Ogunquit, Maine, from the teens to the thirties, but has not received the attention either his role or his work merits. Wood Gaylor and American Modernism, 1913-1936, accompanying a traveling exhibition organized by the Fleming Museum of Art at the University of Vermont, is the first book-length work focused on this artist's contributions to American modernism in the early twentieth century. Gaylor's paintings, teeming with color and action, depict the spirited gatherings of modern artists and arts promoters. As Gaylor's images document important events in the art world of the 1910s, '20s, and '30s, so too does his technique provide insight into the factors impacting the evolution of a distinctly American modern style. With contributions by Fleming museum curator Andrea P. Rosen, independent art historian Dr. Christine Isabelle Oaklander, and an interview with the artist's son Wynn Gaylor, this ground-breaking catalogue paints a vivid picture of the heady and vibrant post-Armory Show American art world. Illustrated in colour and black & white.
