The book was awarded The Art Association of Australia and New
Zealand Book Prize in 2010. Art continues to bemuse and confuse
many people today. Yet, its critical analyses are saturated with
daunting analyses of contemporary art's exhaustion, its
predictability or its absorption into global commercial culture. In
this book, the author seeks to clarify this apprehensive perception
of art. He argues it is a consequence not only of confounding
art-works, but also of the paradoxical impetus of a culture of
modernity. By positively reassessing the perplexing or apprehensive
features of cultural modernity as well as of aesthetic inquiry,
this book redefines the ambitions of art in the wake of this
legacy. In the process, it challenges many familiar approaches to
art inquiry in order to offer a new understanding of the aesthetic,
social and cultural aspirations of art in our time.
