The Artist in the Modern World: The Conflict Between Market and Self-Expression

Oskar Batschmann

Synopsis:
In his examination of 250 years of art history, the author explores the reciprocal relations between the production of art and its exhibition before the public. He investigates the history of the modern artist, whose connections with the exhibition of art in institutional settings--beginning in the 18th century--profoundly changed the definition of art and the artist's view of himself. 120 illustrations.
