This book provides a ground breaking re-examination of the changing
relationship between art, craft, and industry focusing on the
transition from workshop to studio, apprentice to pupil, guild to
gallery and artisan to artist. Responding to the question whether
the artist is a relic of the feudal mode of production or is a
commodity producer corresponding to the capitalist mode of cultural
production, Beech reveals, instead, that the history of the
formation of art as distinct from handicraft, commerce, and
industry can be traced back to the dissolution of the dual system
of guild and court. This essential history needs to be revisited in
order to rethink the categories of aesthetic labour, attractive
labour, alienated labour, nonalienated labour and unwaged labour
that shape the modern and contemporary politics of work in art.
