Rediscovering Fra Angelico: A Fragmentary History
Paper, 60 pp., 26 black-and-white and color illus.
ISBN 0-89467-950-3
Catalogue for the exhibition, organized by Clay Dean, presented at the Yale University Art Gallery (September 28–December 30, 2001), with essays by Laurence B. Kanter and Carl Brandon Strehlke.
This catalogue examines the Renaissance artist in light of a triptych that had been separated for centuries. Two scholarly essays complement the color figures: Kanter, a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, first made the connection between panels from the collections of the Yale University Art Gallery and the J. Paul Getty Museum. Strehlke, a curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, explains how issues of taste and connoisseurship may account for the panels’ separation.

Reinventing the Emblem: Contemporary Artists Recreate a Renaissance Idea
Paper, 40 pp., 81 black-and-white illus.
ISBN 0-89467-069-7
Catalogue of the exhibition, organized by Allison B. Leader, presented at the Yale University Art Gallery (January 20–March 26, 1995). Catalogue edited by Lesley K. Baier. With essays by Leader and Richard S. Field.
This catalogue of a “museum experiment” presents sixteenth- and seventeenth-century emblems (printed images with proverb-like texts) and contemporary works directly inspired by the tradition. Leader’s essay looks at the Renaissance form, which addressed love, politics, and religion in ways that capitalized on the newly invented printing press. Field’s essay reviews the ingenious contemporary updates by such artists as Peter Halley, Lesley Dill, Joseph Kosuth, and Lawrence Weiner.

ISBN-10 0-89467-968-6
Catalogue of the exhibition presented at the Yale University Art Gallery (December 10, 2006–July 8, 2007).

Foshe, Kate Howe, Harriet Salmon, Catherine Sellers, and Sydney Skelton
Responding to Kahn: A Sculptural Conversation accompanies a student-organized exhibition of postwar sculpture from the Gallery’s collection. The works chosen represent major recent developments in the field of sculpture and interact with the newly renovated spaces of the Gallery's Louis Kahn building, highlighting the building itself as an important part of the collection. This project provided an opportunity for students to manage every aspect of planning and executing a museum exhibition and publication. The catalogue includes essays by each of the student curators and object entries on each of the sculptures, all of which examine the exchange and interplay between art and site.
