Artworld Prestige: Arguing Cultural Value
Van Laar, Timothy (Professor of Art and Design, Professor of Art and Design, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
This book examines the ways in which cultural arguments about value develop: the processes by which some practices, artists, and media in the artworld win and others lose. The authors argue that the concept of prestige, although uncomfortable and consistently overlooked, is an essential model for understanding artworld values.
