Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

This book takes an interdisciplinary transnational and cross-cultural approach to reflect on critically examine and challenge the surprisingly robust practice of making art after death in an artist's name through the lenses of scholars from the fields of art history economics and law as well as practicing artists. Works of art conceived as multiples such as sculptures etchings prints photographs and conceptual art can be—and often are—remade from original models and plans long after the artist has passed. Recent sales have suggested a growing market embrace of posthumous works contemporaneous with questioning on the part of art history. Legal norms seem unready for this surge in posthumous production and are beset by conflict across jurisdictions. Non-Western approaches to posthumous art from Chinese emulations of non-living artists to Native American performances take into account rituals of generational passage at odds with contemporary market-driven approaches. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history the art market art law art management museum studies and economics. | Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

This book aims to redefine Australia’s earliest art history by chronicling for the first time the birth of the category Aboriginal art tracing the term’s use through published literature in the late eighteenth nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850–1880

The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850–1880

Focusing on an era that both inherited and irretrievably altered the form and the content of earlier art production The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850-1880 argues that fine art practices and the audiences and markets for them were influenced by the media culture of art publishing and journalism in substantial and formative ways perhaps more than at any other time in the history of English art. The study centers on forms of Victorian picture-making and the art knowledge systems defining them and draws on the histories of art literature journalism and publishing. The historical example employed in the book is that of the more than 800 steel-plate prints after paintings published in the London-based Art-Journal between 1850 and 1880. The cultural phenomenon of the Art Journal print is shown to be a key connector in mid-Victorian art appreciation by drawing out specific tropes of likeness. This study also examines the important links between paint and print; the aesthetic values and domestic aspirations of the Victorian middle class; and the inextricable intertwining of fine art and 'trade' publishing. | The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850–1880

Contemporary Art and Feminism

Contemporary Art and Feminism carefully outlines the links between feminist theory and practice of the past four decades of contemporary art and offers a radical re-reading of the contemporary movement.

Readers are encouraged to see where art ideas come from and evaluate past and present art strategies. What strategies materials or tropes are less relevant in today’s networked event-driven art economies? What strategies and themes should we keep hold of or develop in new ways?

Art and Expression Studies in the Psychology of Art

Art and Expression Studies in the Psychology of Art

Perception of expression distinguishes our cognitive activity in a pervasive significant and peculiar way and manifests itself paradigmatically in the vast world of artistic production. Art and Expression examines the cognitive processes involved in artistic production aesthetic reception understanding and enjoyment. Using a phenomenological theoretical and methodological framework developed by Rudolf Arnheim and other important scholars interested in expressive media Alberto Argenton considers a wide range of artistic works which span the whole arc of the history of western graphic and pictorial art. Argenton analyses the representational strategies of a dynamic and expressive character that can be reduced to basic aspects of perception like obliqueness amodal completion and the bilateral function of contour giving new directions relative to the functioning of cognitive activity. Art and Expression is a monument to the fruitful collaboration of art history and psychology and Argenton has taken great care to construct a meaningful psychological approach to the arts based also on a knowledge of pictorial genres that allows him to systematically situate the works under scrutiny. Art and Expression is an essential resource for postgraduate researchers and scholars interested in visual perception art and gestalt psychology. | Art and Expression Studies in the Psychology of Art

Art Into Pop

Art Into Pop

This book first published in 1987 tells the intriguing and culturally complex story of the art school influence on postwar British popular music. Following Romantic attitudes from life class to recording studio it focuses on two key moments – the early 1960s when art students like John Lennon and Eric Clapton begin to play their own versions of American rock and blues and inflected youth music with Bohemian dreams and the late 1970s when punk musicians emerged from design courses and fashion departments to disrupt what were by then art-rock routines. Sixties rock Bohemians and seventies pop Situationists were in their different ways trying to solve the art students’ perennial problem – how to make a living from their art. Art Into Pop shows how this problem has been shaped by the history of British art education from its nineteenth-century origins to current arguments about ‘pure’ and ‘applied’ training. In their simultaneous pursuit of authenticity and artifice art school musicians exemplify the postmodern condition the collapse of any distinction between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture the confusions of personal and commercial creativity. And so high pop theorists rub shoulders here with low pop practitioners experimental musicians debate avant-garde ideas with corporate packagers and artistic integrity becomes a matter of making oneself up.

American Artists On Art From 1940 To 1980

American Artists On Art From 1940 To 1980

From the Preface:The fact that so much of modern art has devoted itself to the exploration and assertion of its own identity is reflected in but does not explain the increasing amount of writing and talking on the part of contemporary artists. Rather the whole history of the changing role of art and artists in a democratic industrial and technological society stands behind the spate of artists' words and the public's hunger for them?even some of the general public out there beyond art's little circle. Statements by artists appeal somewhat the way drawings do: they bring us or at least they hold the promise of bringing us closer to the artist's thoughts and feelings and to an understanding of his or her modus operandi; they hold the keys to a mysterious realm. And sometimes they offer us the sheer pleasure of good reading. Such is the primary raison d'�e of this book. Its other motivation is educational and stems from the frustrating lack in teaching contemporary art of any single compilation of statements by American artists from 1940 to the present. ? This anthology differs in several respects from those others that do include documents of American art since 1940. ? The selection I have made is devoted exclusively to statements of artists; it is limited to the last four decades; it presents in a single volume a representative and fairly comprehensive coverage of major developments in American art beginning with Abstract Expressionism; and whenever possible it cities the first or among the very earliest documents signalizing a shift in the definition intent or direction of art. ? | American Artists On Art From 1940 To 1980

Art Research Philosophy

Art Research Philosophy

Art Research Philosophy explores the emergent field of artistic research: art produced as a contribution to knowledge. As a new subject it raises several questions: What is art-as-research? Don’t the requirements of research amount to an imposition on the artistic process that dilutes the power of art? How can something subjective become objective? What is the relationship between art and writing? Doesn’t description always miss the particularity of the artwork? This is the first book-length study to show how ideas in philosophy can be applied to artistic research to answer its questions and to make proposals for its future. Clive Cazeaux argues that artistic research is an exciting development in the historical debate between aesthetics and the theory of knowledge. The book draws upon Kant phenomenology and critical theory to show how the immediacies of art and experience are enmeshed in the structures that create knowledge. The power of art to act on these structures is illustrated through a series of studies that look closely at a number of contemporary artworks. This book will be ideal for postgraduate students and scholars of the visual and creative arts aesthetics and art theory.

Feminist Art Criticism An Anthology

From the Preface:The essays in Feminist Art Criticism are theoretical and we selected them for several reasons. First they show a diversity of concerns. These include spirituality sexuality the representation of women in art the necessary inter-relationship of theory and action women as artmakers ethnicity language itself so-called postfeminism and critiques of hte art world the discipline of art history and the practice of art criticism. Second the contributors' work has not been either widely disseminated or readily available. Third the essays especially arranged as they are (chronologically) demonstrate a continuous feminist discourse in art from the early 1970s through the present a discourse that is neither monolithic nor intellectually trendy but that rather exhibits many elements the polemical Marxist lyrical and poststructuralist being only a few. | Feminist Art Criticism An Anthology

Deinstitutionalizing Art of the Nomadic Museum Practicing And Theorizing Critical Art Therapy With Adolescents

With a special focus on Latin America international artists’ writings and works are intersected with the thoughts of curators and museum decision makers. The inevitable connection of the arts with social and political fields is highlighted enabling the exploration of the intersections of art critical analysis social science psychoanalysis and political philosophy.

Curating Art

Curating Art

Curating Art provides insight into some of the most socially and politically impactful curating of historical and contemporary art since the late 1990s. It offers up a museological framework for understanding watershed developments of curating in art museums. Representing the plurality of theory and practice around the expanded field of relational curating the book focuses on curating that prioritises the quality of relationships between people and objects between institutions and people and among people. It has wide international breadth with particularly strong representation in East and Southeast Asia including four papers never before translated into English. This Asian cluster illuminates the globalisation of the field and challenges dichotomies of East and West while acknowledging distinctions within specific but often transnational cultural spheres. The compelling philosophical perspectives and case studies included within Curating Art will be of interest to students and researchers studying curating exhibition development and art museums. The book will also inspire current and emerging curators to pose challenging but important questions about their own practice and the relationships that this work sustains.
