Art Worlds (updated and explained) - Howard S. Becker

Taal: Engels

Aantal pagina's: 408

A classic sociological examination of art as collective action, Art Worlds explores the cooperative network of suppliers, performers, dealers, critics and consumers that - along with the artist - produces a work of art. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition is updated with a new dialogue between Becker and eminent French sociologist Alain Pessin about the extended social system in which art is created and with a new preface in which the author talks about his own process for creating this influential work.
