520    The essential practical handbook for all those involved in,
       or studying, the dynamic field of curating. From pitching 
       your ideas and writing loan requests to working with 
       artists, lenders and art handlers; from writing 
       interpretation material to installing and promoting your 
       exhibition, this is the most clear and complete guide yet 
       to the art of curating. The introduction maps the history 
       of curating from its origins in the 17th century to the 
       multifarious roles of the curator today: tastemaker, 
       custodian, interpreter, educator, facilitator and 
       organizer. Adrian George then guides the reader through 
       the processes of curating an exhibition in twelve 
       chapters. Each step is described in valuable detail and 
       clear, informative language by this experienced curator, 
       whose text pinpoints the keys to success (as well as which
       pitfalls to avoid). With advice and tips from a cast of 
       international museum directors and curators - including 
       Daniel Birnbaum, Aric Chen, Elizabeth Ann MacGregor, Hans 
       Ulrich Obrist, Jennifer Russell and Nicholas Serota - this
       is the essential handbook for all students, museum and 
       gallery professionals, and established or aspiring 
       curators.--Publisher.
