{"product_id":"irish-intellectuals-and-aesthetics-marta-herrero-9780716533276","title":"Irish Intellectuals and Aesthetics: The Making of a Modern Art Collection","description":"This book offers a novel sociological approach to art collecting with a study of the practices involved in the making of the collection for the Irish Musem of Modern Art in Dublin. Drawing on the work of sociologists Zygmunt Bauman and Pierre Bourdieu on intellectuals, it argues that art collecting can be theorised as a form of intellectual practice whereby art objects are assigned collecting value. The study is based on interviews with professionals in Dublin's art world, museum and gallery directors, curators, and in its historical context, it also explores the practices surrounding the creation of Dublin's first modern art collection for the Municipal Gallery of Modern Art in 1908.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marta Herrero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0716533278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780716533276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Irish Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 213","brand":"Marta Herrero","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48441312084223,"sku":"9780716533276","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bf9e201-bbfb-465d-8cf1-bd05cc78fe68.jpg?v=1777190081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/irish-intellectuals-and-aesthetics-marta-herrero-9780716533276","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
