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

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum investigates the art museum as a space where the contemporary is staged – in exhibitions collecting practices communication and policies. Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum traces the art museum back to the postwar era. Including contributions by established and emerging art historians academics and curators the book proposes that the art museum is engaged in the contemporary in a double sense: it (re)presents contemporary art while the contemporary condition itself also has a significant impact on art and the museum that houses it. Presenting a diverse range of international cases of exhibitions and curatorial practices which hail primarily from Europe and Scandinavia the essays examine the politics of staging “national” “international” and “global” framings of modernism as well as the new public spaces shaped in digital practices and changing political frameworks. The book investigates both the seminal and the unknown exhibitions and institutions that created contemporary art as we know it today. Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum provides a historical perspective on the museum of contemporary art. It constitutes a step towards differencing the canon of modernist and contemporary art and a more complex understanding of the politics of curating the contemporary in the art museum why it will be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of museums curating exhibitions and art history.

The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal Symbolising Animals and Things

The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal Symbolising Animals and Things

The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal presents significant interpretive perspectives in Portuguese rock art research and offers an excellent representation of core rock art areas along with current thinking and interpretations. The various chapters deliver a personal approach to the many issues themes and approaches that are embedded within the rock art of the outpost of western Atlantic Europe. Ethnographical perspectives have often dominated the study of rock art but unlike other well-studied regions the western Iberian Peninsula is absent of an ethnographical or ethno-historical past and therefore the production of rock art can only be archaeologically assessed. Thus the work promotes interpretive perspectives on Portuguese rock art illustrating the richness chronology and context of these unique artistic expressions and explores the variability of rock art imagery and the diversity of landscapes and social contexts in which it was produced. Although focusing on Portuguese rock art the book includes a number of universal themes that will appeal to a broad range of scholars researching in archaeology and anthropology history of art as well as professionals engaged in rock art heritage and conservation. | The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal Symbolising Animals and Things

The Art of Dining in Medieval Byzantium

The Art of Dining in Medieval Byzantium

Thousands of intact ceramic bowls and plates as well as fragments made in the medieval Byzantine empire survive to this day. Decorated with figural and non-figural imagery applied in a variety of techniques and adorned with colourful paints and glazes the vessels can tell us much about those who owned them and those who looked at them. In addition to innumerable ceramic vessels a handful of precious metal bowls and plates survive from the period. Together these objects make up the art of dining in medieval Byzantium. This art of dining was effervescent at turns irreverent and deadly serious visually stunning and fun. It is suggestive of ways in which those viewing the objects used a quotidian and biologically necessary (f)act – that of eating – to reflect on their lives and deaths their aspirations and their realities. This book examines the ceramic and metal vessels in terms of the information offered on the foods eaten the foods desired and their status; the spectacle of the banquet; the relationship between word and image in medieval Byzantium; the dangers of taste; the emergence of new moral and social ideals; and the use of dining as a tool in constructing and enforcing hierarchy. This book is of appeal to scholarly and non-scholarly audiences interested in the art and material culture of the medieval period and in the social history of food and eating.

Philosophy and the Art of Writing

Philosophy and the Art of Writing

Philosophy and literature enjoy a close complex relationship. Elucidating the connections between these two fields this book examines the ways philosophy deploys literary means to advance its practice particularly as a way of life that extends beyond literary forms and words into physical deeds nonlinguistic expression and subjective moods and feelings. Exploring thinkers from Socrates and Confucius to Foucault and Simone de Beauvoir Richard Shusterman probes the question of what roles literature could play in a vision of philosophy as something essentially lived rather than merely written. To develop this vision of philosophy that incorporates literature but seeks to go beyond the verbal to realize the embodied fullness of life and capture its inexpressible dimensions Shusterman gives particular attention to authors who straddle the literature/philosophical divide: from Augustine and Montaigne through Wordsworth and Kierkegaard to T. S. Eliot Georges Bataille Maurice Blanchot and Bertrand Russell. The book concludes with a chapter on the Chinese art of writing with its mixture of poetry calligraphy and painting. Philosophy and the Art of Writing should interest students and researchers in literary theory and philosophy. It also opens the practice of philosophy to people who are not professionals in the writing of philosophy or literary theory.

Egon Schiele and the Art of Popular Illustration

Egon Schiele and the Art of Popular Illustration

Presenting a radically different picture of Egon Schiele’s work this study documents (in one-to-one comparisons) the extent of the artist’s visual borrowings from the Viennese humoristic journal Die Muskete. Claude Cernuschi analyzes each comparison on a case-by-case basis primarily because the interpretation of cartoons and caricatures is highly contingent on their specific historical and cultural context. Although this connection has gone unnoticed in the literature in retrospect this correlation makes perfect sense. Not only was Schiele’s artistic production frequently compared to caricature (and derided for being “grotesque”) but Expressionism and caricature are natural allies. One may belong to “high” art and the other to “popular” culture yet both presuppose similar assumptions and deploy a similar rhetorical position: namely that the exaggeration of human physiognomy allows deeper psychological “truths” to emerge. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history visual culture popular culture and politics. | Egon Schiele and the Art of Popular Illustration

Wilhelm von Bode and the American Art Market The Rudolphe Kann Collection

The Art of Comedy Writing

The Art of Comedy Writing

Just as a distinctive literary voice or style is marked by the ease with which it can be parodied so too can specific aspects of humor be unique. Playwrights television writers novelists cartoonists and film scriptwriters use many special technical devices to create humor. Just as dramatic writers and novelists use specific devices to craft their work creators of humorous materials from the ancient Greeks to today's stand-up comics have continued to use certain techniques in order to generate humor. In The Art of Comedy Writing Arthur Asa Berger argues that there are a relatively limited number of techniques forty-five in all that humorists employ. Elaborating upon his prior in-depth study of humor An Anatomy of Humor in which Berger provides a content analysis of humor in all forms joke books plays comic books novels short stories comic verse and essaysThe Art of Comedy Writing goes further. Berger groups each technique into four basic categories: humor involving identity such as burlesque caricature mimicry and stereotype; humor involving logic such as analogy comparison and reversal; humor involving language such as puns wordplay sarcasm and satire; and finally chase slapstick and speed or humor involving action. Berger claims that if you want to know how writers or comedians create humor study and analysis of their humorous works can be immensely insightful. This book is a unique analytical offering for those interested in humor. It provides writers and critics with a sizable repertoire of techniques for use in their own future comic creations. As such this book will be of interest to people inspired by humor and the creative process professionals in the comedy field and students of creative writing comedy literary humor communications broadcast/media and the humanities.

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The song remains the most basic unit of modern pop music. Shaped into being by historical forces—cultural aesthetic and technical—the song provides both performer and audience with a world marked off by a short discrete and temporally demarcated experience. One-Track Mind: Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song brings together 16 writers to weigh in on 16 iconic tracks from the history of modern popular music. Arranged chronologically in order of release of the tracks and spanning nearly five decades these essays zigzag across the cultural landscape to present one possible history of pop music. There are detours through psychedelic rock Afro-pop Latin pop glam rock heavy metal punk postpunk adult contemporary rock techno hip-hop and electro-pop here. More than just deep histories of individual songs these essays all expand far beyond the track itself to offer exciting and often counterintuitive histories of transformative moments in popular culture. Collectively they show the undiminished power of the individual pop song both as distillations of important flashpoints and in their afterlives as ghostly echoes that persist undiminished but transform for succeeding generations. Capitalism and its principal good capital help us frame these stories a fact that should surprise no one given the inextricable relationship between art and capitalism established in the twentieth century. At the root readers will find here a history of pop with unexpected plot twists colorful protagonists and fitting denouements. | One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song
