"Intellectually stimulating."

Michael Hall | Apollo

"Toward a Geography of Art is an timely, erudite, and intensely stimulating book, which is sure to have a considerable impact on the study of art history; it will be widely read."

Paul Barolsky, University of Virginia

"Kaufmann’s book, like Corbusier’s [Vers une architecture], reveals possible steps along pathways whose pursuit may transform future ways of seeing. . . . Kaufmann’s consideration of center and periphery, of transformation through diffusion, and, especially, of the historiography of the concept of Kunstgeographie reveal tremendous historical and geographic breadth. Toward a Geography of Art merits the attention of current and future generations of scholars."

James Housefield | Geographical Reviews

"Kaufmann shows how the previous debates on geography of art can still be accurate and fertile today. . . . Toward a Geography of Art should enliven interest in a field of study that has been commonly overlooked in North American institutions."

Yves Laberge | Journal of Cultural Geography

"Kaufmann has written a definitive work on the geography of art, intending to heighten interest in this approach among art historians. . . . It is a book that can transform attitudes."

Edmunds V. Bunkse | Annals of the Association of American Geographers

"An enlightening study of the consequences that arise in associating art with specific location. . . . Toward a Geography of Art impressively exposes the advantages and pitfalls to thinking about art in terms of place, still one of our preeminent categories for classifying cultural products."

Ethan Matt Kavaler | CAA Reviews

"Essential reading for anyone interested in the increasingly important topics of geography and the spatial aspects of art."
