This classic sociological examination of art as collective action
explores the cooperative network of suppliers, performers, dealers,
critics, and consumers who - along with the artist - "produce" a
work of art. Howard S. Becker looks at the conventions essential to
this operation and, prospectively, at the extent to which art is
shaped by this collective activity. The book is thoroughly
illustrated and updated with a new dialogue between Becker and
eminent French sociologist Alain Pessin about the extended social
system in which art is created, and with a new preface in which the
author talks about his own process in creating this influential
work.
