Much recent discussion surrounding valuation of the arts and
culture, particularly in the policy arena, has been dominated by a
concern to identify an economic and financial basis for valuation
of art works, arts, activities and more general ways in which we
express our culture. Whereas a great deal can be gained from a
fuller understanding of the economic value of art, there is a real
danger that financial considerations will tend to crowd out all
other aspects of value. This book moves beyond the limitations
implicit in a narrow economic approach, bringing different
disciplinary viewpoints together, opening up a dialogue between
scholars about the processes of valuation that they use and
exploring differences and identifying common ground between the
various viewpoints. The book's common theme - the tension between
economic and cultural modes of evaluation - unites the chapters,
making it a coherent and unified volume that provides a new and
unique perspective on how we value art.
