Spaces of Experience Art Gallery Interiors from 1800 to 2000

by Charlotte Klonk

I found this history of art gallery interiors very interesting. The book also goes into the 20th century, when display strategies changed a lot because artworks had more space. Klonk’s book is mostly focused on Germany and the West so it is not complete, but it gives us a very interesting account of how we have changed. Spaces of Experience is a good toolbox and also very good for somebody who is not in the art world.
