What is the work of art? How does art work as art? Andrew Benjamin
contends that the only way to address these questions is by
developing a radically new materialist philosophy of art, and by
rethinking the history of art from within that perspective. A
materialist philosophy of art starts with the contention that
meaning is only ever the after effect of the way in which materials
work. Starting with the relation between history, materials and
work (art's work), this book opens up a highly original
reconfiguration of the philosophy of art. Benjamin undertakes a
major project that seeks to develop a set of complex
interarticulations between art history and an approach to art's
work that emphasizes art's material presence. A philosophy of art
emerges from the limitations of aesthetics.
