Opis

What is art history? The answer depends on who asks the question. Artists, museum professionals, academics, art critics, collectors and connoisseurs, dealers and auctioneers all share in the goals, achievements, methods and history of art history. Tied to and sustained by a host of competing institutions, art history remains a many-headed field of study.
