Writing and editing for publications in the visual arts - including brochures,
wall texts, blogs and exhibition and auction catalogues - requires very
specific skills and an understanding of the marketplace. This course
discusses the crucial role of publications in the art world and how they are
structured to communicate with different audiences. Students dissect the
author/editor relationship, develop their own editing skills, become familiar
with common word usage problems, learn how to build style sheets and
house styles, and gain greater ease with necessary reference works. The
course concludes with a discussion of editorial career paths.
The course is taught by Sothebys Institute of Art faculty member, Audrey
Walen who is an independent visual art writer, researcher, and art
publishing professional. She specializes in all aspects of publishing, with
particular expertise in modern and contemporary art. Previously she has
served as the Publications Manager for the Hirshhorn Museum and
Sculpture Garden, and Project Editor with Phaidon Press London. Her
writing has appeared in numerous art journals, and she recently contributed
to Urban Vinyl (Goliga Books, Tokyo). Current clients include the Fundacion
Cisneros, Neue Galerie New York, The Museum of Modern Art, and the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
