Winner of the Midwest Art History Society Award
for Outstanding Exhibition Catalogue
Biedermeier:The Invention of Simplicity
The Midwest Art History Society Board of Directors is pleased to announce the winner of the award for the 2006 Outstanding Exhibition Catalogue - Biedermeier: The Invention of Simplicity, Hans Ottomeyer, Klaus Albrecht Schröder, and Laurie Winters. The catalogue was produced by the Milwaukee Art Museum.
Many wonderful catalogues were submitted, and only after careful review and deliberation did the Award Committee, Leesa Fanning (Chair), Joseph Becherer, and Robin Clark, select Biedermeier: The Invention of Simplicity.
Selection of the Outstanding Exhibition Catalogue was based on the conception of the catalogue, contributions to contemporary scholarship, and excellence in design.
This represents the third year of the award for Outstanding Exhibition Catalogue. The Call for Nominations for catalogues produced in 2007 will be sent out this November, with a deadline for submissions in February. The winner of the 2007 award will be announced at the annual Midwest Art History Society meeting in Spring, 2008.
