Publisher's note

Poignantly and powerfully written, this collection of essays calls for an end to the art world as we know it, seeking to replace hype with an aesthetics of inner-directed art. An acclaimed historian argues that the most significant change in the art world over the past two decades has been in how art is promoted and marketed, not the evolution of a new style or movement; that after art prices accelerated in the 1980s, today's art world looks more like a multinational corporation than a cultural institution. The book discusses painting, sculpture, literature, music, photography, and conceptual art, showing how they have become governed by fashion and pop-entertainment trends. In richly expressive terms, the author then calls for replacing those influences with an aesthetics based on a new qualitative standard in art.
