ABSTRACT
This article is a review of a volume of essays based on the papers delivered at a conference on display held at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds in 2007. The publication forms part of the HMI’s series, SUBJECT/OBJECT: NEW STUDIES IN SCULPTURE. The individual studies cover a broad spectrum of sculpture collections over a two-hundred-year period, and remind the reader of the importance that sculpture has occupied in museum displays since the advent of the public museum, whether installed in discrete sculpture galleries, or integrated into a contextualized installation together with paintings and applied art.
