This course is required to complete the Museum Studies and Curatorial Practice Graduate Certificate Programs and is available for credit in Fine Arts and as a graduate seminar in Art History. An introduction to the history of museums and curating in Europe and North America, it provides an introduction to the first museum practices in examples from classical Greece and to some of the earliest public collections in Italy and England during the sixteenth century. The class explores the founding of the first state-sponsored museums in Europe, in particular the Louvre, Paris, and the National Gallery, London, and contrast these with American counterparts that were founded under quite different circumstances. Approaching the present, the class will evaluate the curating ideas behind the Whitney Biennial, New York, over a 15-year period, before considering the role played by high-profile itinerant curators in recent international surveys like Documenta.
