Introduction

Thank you for taking the time to review my book portfolio.

Most of these titles are exhibition and collection catalogues
published for the Cleveland Museum of Art. Also illustrated
here are a selection of history books, a cookbook, and
architectural guidelines for a historic district.

In general, art history and museum authors follow many

traditions when presenting works of art that go far beyond a
simple caption. Most of the authors are quite concerned with
their audience of colleagues and scholars, and therefore provide
comparative illustrations and copious footnotes. Collection and
exhibition catalogues will give complete ownership histories
on the work art (provenance), and exhaustively list all prior
appearances in exhibitions and literature. The more celebrated
works have been widely published and exhibited many times
and therefore the listings of this information can be quite long.
Part of the challenge of designing for the scholarly audience of
art history is those grand works of art and not letting them get
swallowed whole by their own achievements. Conversely, the
least known works may only have one opportunity to shine—a
particular exhibition may put the spotlight on them—and
therefore the scholar always sees that every possible bit of
information on the object gets published.

I am interested in many types of books, it just so happens that

art history is what a large museum tends to publish. I believe
these samples demonstrate my ability to manage complex
projects with all sorts of intricacies. I look forward to speaking
with you on the opportunities that may fit my style and ability.

Used by classical scholars, a CVA

is a portfolio of objects from the
museum’s collection prepared
according to a set of time-honored
specifications. Contents include a
book and loose plates. This format
enables the researcher to have
CVAs from several institutions open
at once, and allows plates of similar
objects to be assembled side-by-
side for comparison.
