Forgetting the art world

Forgetting the art world

by Lee, Pamela M.

Type Book
Rate 0.0 /5

It may be time to forget the art world, or at least to recognize that a certain historical notion of the art world is in eclipse. The author connects the current state of this world to globalization and its attendant controversies. Contemporary art has responded to globalization with images of movement and migration, borders and multitudes, but Lee looks beyond iconography to view globalization as a world process. She argues that the work of art is itself both object and agent of globalization.
