RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS

The Ringling published three major publications in 2017–18. The most significant was the publication of Italian, Spanish, and French Paintings in the Ringling Museum of Art. This five-year project presents the first comprehensive catalogue on The Ringling’s most significant European paintings in a major 600+ page publication. Authored by our former curator, Dr. Virginia Brilliant, this publication finally represents the high quality of the collection to scholars and the general public around the world. It is a major accomplishment for The Ringling. Toni Dove: Embodied Machines is the catalogue for The Ringling organized exhibition of the same name edited by curator Matthew McLendon. And Ca’ d’Zan: A Pictorial Guide is a new look at Ca’ d’Zan with beautiful new photography that is intended to be a visitor “must have” publication. Authored by Ron McCarty and edited by David Berry, this is Ron’s final publication on Ca’ d’Zan before his retirement this August. The Collection catalogue and Toni Dove were produced and distributed in association with SCALA Arts Publishers, London and New York.
