Abstract

In the last half-century exhibition catalogues have completely changed in appearance. Fifty years ago they were usually small pamphlets, which often simply listed the works of art in a show. Today catalogues are frequently substantial monographs, generally profusely illustrated. But a more complex change has also taken place, in line with major developments in the museum and exhibition world. This change can be illustrated by looking at some of the features of catalogues today, such as their production costs, function, and distribution.
