Contemporary art is deeply engaged with the subject of classical
myth. Yet within the literature on contemporary art, little has
been said about this provocative relationship. Composed of fourteen
original essays, Contemporary Art and Classical Myth addresses this
scholarly gap, exploring, and in large part establishing, the
multifaceted intersection of contemporary art and classical myth.
Moving beyond the notion of art as illustration, the essays
assembled here adopt a range of methodological frameworks, from
iconography to deconstruction, and do so across an impressive range
of artists and objects: Francis Alys, Ghada Amer, Wim Delvoye,
Luciano Fabro, Joanna Frueh, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Duane Hanson,
Yayoi Kusama, Roy Lichtenstein, Kara Walker, and an iconic
photograph by Richard Drew subsequently entitled The Falling Man.
Arranged so as to highlight both thematic and structural
affinities, these essays manifest various aspects of the link
between contemporary art and classical myth, while offering novel
insights into the artists and myths under consideration. Some
essays concentrate on single works as they relate to specific
myths, while others take a broader approach, calling on myth as a
means of grappling with dominant trends in contemporary art.
