(MENAFN- The Conversation)
You're standing at the centre of an expansive art gallery, overwhelmed by what's in front of you: panel after panel of stupendous works – densely-written labels affixed next to each piece. These labels may offer a window into the artist's intention, or the social and historical context of the work.

We asked five experts – and their answers suggest art may be witnessed in as many wide and varied ways as it is created.
