OXFORD HISTORY OF ART

The Oxford History of Art is a major series of ground-breaking, authoritative, and beautifully illustrated books by art historians at the forefront of new thinking. The last thirty years have witnessed profound changes in both the nature and study of art. While artists have employed startling new techniques to test old assumptions, an new generation of scholars have rejected formal approaches to breathe fresh life into the field of art criticism.

In 1997, Oxford University Press launched, to widespread acclaim, a new paperback series which took these changes into account. Written by leading scholars at the forefront of new thinking, and beautifully illustrated, these substantial and innovative texts clarify, illuminate, and debate the critical issues at the heart of art history today.

THE SOANE CATALOGUE SERIES

On his appointment as Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy in 1806 Sir John Soane began to arrange the books, casts, and models in his collection for the benefit of his students, and in 1833 he negotiated an Act of Parliament to settle and preserve the house and collection for the benefit of `amateurs and students' in architecture, painting and sculpture. Since 1984 it has been the intention of the Curators to make the collections available to a wider public; the first catalogue of Soane's important collection of Renaissance drawings was published in December 1998, and further catalogue raisonnés of the collections in the Sir John Soane's Museum are forthcoming.
