Reviews

Orcutt's comprehensive, lucid and fair-minded history of the American Art-Union, the most important art patron of the nineteenth century, defends it as a utopian enterprise that failed when the idealism embedded in its institutional structure had unintended consequences. This book is likely to become a standard reference on the Art-Union and its widespread impact.---Wendy Jean Katz, author of A True American: William Walcutt, Nativism, and Nineteenth-Century Art
