Description
Contemporary art has become increasingly popular, yet the art world is undergoing significant changes. As globalization continues to shape the landscape, questions arise about the nature of contemporary art and its future direction. This Very Short Introduction explores the diverse and rapidly evolving scene of contemporary art, analyzing how globalisation from the 1990s onwards has led to new regions and nations, such as China, gaining prominence in aesthetics. The book also examines how contemporary art has drawn closer to fashion and luxury goods markets, with artists becoming skilled marketers of their work. The author considers how the role of art criticism has changed, with many artists now excelling at critical and performative writing. Additionally, the influence of big business and the super-rich on the contemporary art scene is discussed, particularly in light of the financial crisis.
