"The Clark Library has a collection of publications and ephemera relating to the Venice Biennale that dates back to the event's beginning in 1895. Art's Biggest Stage: Collecting the Venice Biennale, 2007-2019 is the first deep dive into the library's various holdings related to the event. Drawing primarily from our collection of publications and ephemera, this book emphasizes notions of nationhood while at the same time evoking the spectacle of the Biennale itself"-- Provided by publisher.
