Title: Towards a New Museum
Description: New York, The Monacelli Press, 1998. Softcover. Color-illustrated card wraps with yellow lettering/blue spine. French flaps. 288 pp. with color/bw illus. throughout. "In this unprecedented investigation, architectural historian Victoria Newhouse challenges many hitherto accepted premises of museum design. She demonstrates that new museums - with a social function equal in importance to that of the 19th-century opera house - are often stil based on old concepts that no longer apply to contemporary art forms. This unvarnished analysis is informed by interviews with museum directors and curators, collectors, artists and the architects themselves..[The architects and their recently-designed spaces} represent what may be the most significant development: the museum that is as important architecturally as it is for the art it contains. These designs point the way toward a new museum for the 21st century." (from the book cover). VG .
