This week’s competition prize is Rendez-vous with Art, by Philippe de Montebello and Martin Gayford (Thames and Hudson, £19.95)

In this expansive series of conversations, the former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art joins forces with one of Britain’s top art critics, the two men meeting in museums and galleries across the world to discuss the enduring power of art. The resulting texts are packed with their insights on aesthetic experience, the context of museums, and how display affects how we look at art. A thought-provoking read.
