Sinopsis

"Rise of Private Museums" explores the growing influence of privately owned art museums on the global art world. These institutions, funded by wealthy individuals, are reshaping cultural heritage, exhibition practices, and art history itself. The book highlights how the surge in private museums reflects both increased wealth concentration and a desire to shape cultural narratives.

 
Intriguingly, these museums can offer valuable public access to art, but also raise questions about accountability and potential biases in historical representation. The book examines the motivations behind the establishment of these museums, delving into the personal, financial, and social factors driving collectors.

 
It analyzes the impact on established public institutions and the art market, considering how private museums influence art market values and curatorial approaches. The approach unfolds by first introducing the phenomenon, then exploring collector motivations, analyzing the impact on the wider art world, and finally discussing the ethical considerations.

 
Ultimately, "Rise of Private Museums" offers a critical perspective on the intersection of art, wealth, and power. It avoids a simple celebration of art patronage, instead prompting a deeper understanding of the consequences and controversies surrounding private control of cultural assets. The book engages with debates on deaccessioning, the influence of private interests, and the potential for tax avoidance.

Key to the City - How Zoning...

Sara C. Bronin

In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. 
 
 
 
With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.
