520			_a"Collecting the New is the first book about the challenges that museums face in acquiring and preserving contemporary art. Because such art has not yet withstood the test of time, it defies the traditional understanding of the art museum as an institution that collects and displays works of long-established aesthetic and historical value. By acquiring this type of art, museums gamble on the future. Following Bruch Altshuler's introduction on the history of European and American museum collecting of art by living artists, the book includes essays by twelve distinguished curators. First considered are general issues, including the acquisition process , and collecting by universal survey museums and museums that focus on modern and contemporary art. Following are groups of essays that address colecting in particular media and national - and ethnic - specific collecting. The final essay examines the conservation problems created by contemporary works - for example, what is to be done when deterioration is the artist's intent?" -- Publisher's description.
