Art arnd artifact - the museum as medium by James Putnam (ISBN

Ämne: [ARLIS-L] Art, artifact, museum practices
A student is in search of literature about museum practices in displaying
artifacts as art or as artifact. She says the debate is between
anthropology and fine art curators - the former describe the pieces in
terms of their history and the latter in terms of aesthetics.
I tried a wide variety of approaches to this question, but feel I didn't
find anything showing a raging debate going on between these two
communities. She found some references in AnthroLit Plus.
Can anyone point me to some literature on this debate?
Thanks!
