As art critic for "The New Republic," Jed Perl is renowned for
combining a passion for art and a skepticism about the current art
establishment with an ability to write about art in the context of
our larger culture. In this collection of essays, including two
written especially for this book, he delivers a brilliant mixture
of first-rate art criticism and politically informed insight into
the true workings of the American art world.Perl offers incisive
analysis into the marketing mentality that dominates today's
museums, the poverty of academic criticism, and the changing
expectations of the gallery-going public. He re-evaluates the old
masters, and turns an avid, unprejudiced eye on the works of his
contemporaries. He laments the collapse of a gallery culture that
once allowed artists to develop slowly, and argues for a radical
reassessment of the way art is presented to--and is viewed by--the
public.
