Description
Art Worlds: A Sociological Examination of Art as Collective Action. In this influential work, Howard S. Becker explores how art is created through the cooperative network of suppliers, performers, dealers, critics, and consumers. The book delves into the conventions essential to this operation and examines how art is shaped by collective activity. Thoroughly illustrated and updated with new dialogue between Becker and Alain Pessin, as well as a new preface, this edition provides fresh insights into the extended social system in which art is created. With its unique perspective on the role of art in society, Art Worlds offers a thought-provoking analysis that continues to resonate today. First published in 1982, this 25th Anniversary Edition has been updated and expanded to provide an authoritative exploration of the sociological aspects of art.
