Description:
What does it mean to be a “successful” artist today? What did it mean in the past? Who decides which artworks become iconic? Notorious? Global? This course examines what art and its circulation as commerce across institutional sites, media forms, and national borders, reveal about the values and belief structures that influence our everyday lives. Through various case studies focusing on some of today’s most provocative and “successful” artists, students will build the conceptual and practical skills necessary to evaluate the global art market. Students will use these case studies to examine claims concerning the validity, accuracy and pertinence of the global art market in relation to the social world and human interactions. These case studies will allow for an examination of racial and gender diversity in the global art market, and variations between and among cultures and subcultures, as well.
