To mark this year’s College Art Association Conference in New York from the 12th-15th February, we’ve put together a reading list of essential titles in Art and Design History from MUP.
If you’re attending CAA 2025, our Editorial Director, Emma Brennan, will be there to talk you through our latest one-off titles, Art History series, and how you might publish with us.
Even if you can’t make it, you can get 30% off any of the titles on our reading list below using our exclusive conference discount code online – use EVENT30 at checkout on Manchester University Press.
