The National Gallery of Art introduces a new biennial journal presenting the latest conservation research on works in its collection.
Publications
Balancing an allegiance to the traditional art of the printed book, for which it has won many awards for excellence, with a commitment to the utility of digital and online formats, the publishing program at the National Gallery of Art fosters an understanding of the Gallery’s collections and exhibitions through the diverse insights of its curators, conservators, educators, and resident scholars.
Announcing
Forthcoming
Tell It with Pride: The 54th Massachusetts Regiment and Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Shaw Memorial
Sarah Greenough and Nancy Anderson
Published 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, this catalogue presents photographs of men who were part of one of the first African American regiments to fight for the Union in the Civil War and explores the way the Shaw Memorial and other works of art commemorate the sacrifices and hopes of the soldiers, their families, and communities.
Yes, No, Maybe: Artists Working at Crown Point Press
Judith Brodie and Adam Greenhalgh
Featuring 125 working proofs and edition prints produced by twenty-five artists working between 1972 and 2010 at Crown Point Press in San Francisco, one of the most influential printmaking studios of the last half century, Yes, No, Maybe goes beyond celebrating the flash of inspiration to examine the artistic process as a sequence of decisions.
Charles Marville: Photographer of Modernity
Sarah Kennel et al.
One of the most significant and talented photographers of his time, Charles Marville (1813–1879) receives here for the first time in any language a comprehensive account of his career. The authors examine his role in documenting Paris at the moment of the city’s modernization and explore his work in many genres, including portraiture, landscape, and architectural studies.
An Eye for Art
Presented by the National Gallery of Art
Introduce children ages seven and up to more than fifty great artists and their work in this lively family-oriented resource compiled from the National Gallery of Art’s popular quarterly NGAkids. Educators, homeschoolers, and families alike will find their creativity sparked by this beautiful gathering of art and information from the nation’s stellar collection.
National Gallery of Art Online Editions
Available in 2014 for the first time on the Gallery’s website, Online Editions will provide access to the most current in-depth information on the Gallery’s collections along with a set of smart tools for citing, comparing, sharing, exporting, viewing, printing, and storing both texts and images. Formerly known as The Collections of the National Gallery of Art Systematic Catalogue, a printed series of authoritative collection catalogues, Online Editions will put this same detailed information and more at the fingertips of the scholar, student, and anyone serious about art. Online Edition’s enhanced reading environment and toolkit are intended not only to provide scholars with a useful workspace in which to read and research but also to promote public study and appreciation of the Gallery’s collections. Online Editions will launch with Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century by Arthur K. Wheelock Jr. and will ultimately document more than 5,000 paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts in the nation’s collection.
