"All the Beauty in the World" by Patrick Bringley is a true darling at S&S. Everyone in its orbit has been charmed by Patrick's personal and profound story of joining the security ranks at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art 🏛️ where he immersed himself in art as a means to cope and heal with his brother's death. It's both an insider account of one of the world's great cultural institutions and a resonant meditation on life, death, family, art, creativity, friendship, and healing 🖼️ And readers agree! Now five weeks (and counting) on the 'New York Times' bestseller list and a Barnes & Noble, Inc. pick for the holidays, "All the Beauty in the World" is deservedly finding its readership and will be a story that connects with people for years to come 🫶 It's also finding its audience on the socials 📲 with one of our clips compiling 600,000+ views, 15,000 shares, 9,000 saves, and 600+ comments 🤩 A classic case of complementary book publishing with so many departments sharing in the success: sales, production, editorial, publicity, marketing, video. Thanks to Ingrid Carabulea for leading the video approach (and patiently enduring my Temple of Dendur jokes) with guidance of Sara Waber, Justin Cook and Sharon Van Meter 📹 Psst 🤫 it's a GREAT gift idea for just about anyone on your list 🎁 #books #bookpublishing #videomarketing #marketing

AN AMAZING VIDEO ABOUT ART CONSERVATION, the career that I chose in the 1980s for the reasons shown and explained in the video (never have I regretted that choice). It illustrates why conservators can be valuable resources in studies of age, attribution, and authenticity, because they spend years studying the chemistry, degradation, and preservation of cultural property - and - years looking very closely at objects. But - and this is important - do not expect most conservators to say whether an object is authentic or inauthentic, misattributed or correctly attributed, old or period, because codes of ethics and guidelines for practice for conservators require a sound basis for such opinions (not mere speculation), and offering such opinions can open them to liability. Rather, listen closely for what conservators say or don’t say about authenticity, attribution, and age; for example, “wouldn’t it be interesting to have this object examined in a laboratory” or “You might ask [so and so] to look at this.” That might be what they are able to say, that you should hear. Hope this helps.

In this article, I take a closer look at ‘Revolt on the Amistad’ by Jacob Lawrence and think about what it means to display this artwork at the International Slavery Museum - give it a read! https://lnkd.in/gwgxyeAD

Art is a journey of self-expression, a path to self-understanding, and a source of healing and catharsis.Through art, we can explore the full spectrum of human emotion from joy and love to sadness and grief, from hope and inspiration to fear and despair...

In March 2022, the Art Gallery of Hamilton received funding from the Digital Access to Heritage Program, which was made available through the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Museums Assistance Program (MAP). The aim of this initiative was to foster improved access to heritage collections through digitization and digital content development. The program funded the digitization of the AGH’s collection until the end of 2024. ⁠ ⁠ We hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes peek at the digitization process at the Gallery! ⁠A short preview can be watched through this post, and the full video can be viewed at: https://lnkd.in/gbrBUZik

If your first instinct is to dismiss anonymous accounts like changethemuseum, please read E.Y. Zipris’s analysis. This is a prime example of what the museum field can learn from larger patterns, rather than attacking or belittling individual voices (anonymous or not).
