Description
Vitrines and glass cabinets have fundamentally shaped how we experience and understand objects in modern display practices, yet they remain underexamined in art historical discourse compared to picture frames, plinths and gallery spaces. This scholarly collection brings together twelve contributions that provide detailed theoretical and historical analysis of the vitrine as a formal apparatus of visibility. The book explores how vitrines separate objects from their original contexts, group disparate items together, and reinforce aesthetic and intrinsic values through careful curation and presentation. Published by Routledge as part of the Subject/Object: New Studies in Sculpture series, this volume fills a significant gap in contemporary art criticism by offering rigorous examination of an everyday yet profound curatorial tool that has defined modern museum practice and display culture across institutional and non-institutional settings.
