Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Concentration on the Arts Council has obscured the diversity and conflicts within state patronage of the Arts in the post-war period in Britain. Recent studies suggest that this focus is increasing even as the Council's long-term survival becomes less plausible. Little has been published on the British Council, the Institute of Contemporary Arts, or the various county councils, which established pioneering connections between artists and the art world. The five case studies in this volume offer a broader survey of private and public patronage in post-war Britain. The introduction by Margaret Garlake explores the range of ideas that stimulated and determined different aspects of patronage in the period.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [183]-194) and index.
