Description
Museum, Inc. offers a thought-provoking critique of contemporary art institutions, drawing on the author's nine years at the Guggenheim Museum. Werner argues that these museums are not radical departures from their predecessors, but rather the logical outcome of cultural and historical developments. In this engaging discourse, Werner examines the forces operating within today's art world, reframing our understanding of the role of the museum in society. He presents a passionate polemic that challenges prevailing views and offers ideas for a more democratic future. Werner's analysis is structured as an informal gallery talk, making the book an accessible and engaging read for those interested in the intersection of art and culture.
