Abstract
'An awful lot of what was introduced in a kind of anti-establishment spirit has — such is the irony of things — found its way into the highest precincts of contemporary high art, as if co-operation were irresistible, and the art world, like the commercial world, feeds and flourishes on what was intended to call it in question and overthrow it.' Arthur C Danto in 'Bad Aesthetic Times' from Encounters and Reflections: Art in the Historical Present, (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, New York, 1990)
