Description: Rethinking Art History: Meditations on a Coy Science
https://doi.org/10.37862/aaeportal.00103
This important book provides a general overview of the theoretical and institutional history of the discipline of art history. Refuting the image of art history as a discipline in crisis, Preziosi asserts that many of the dilemmas and contradictions of art history today are not new but can be traced back to problems surrounding the founding of the discipline, its institutionalization, and its academic expansion since the 1870s.
