Fashionable Art
Autor Adam Geczy, Jacqueline Millneren Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 mar 2015
Owing to digitization, globalization and mass culture, what is deemed 'desirable' and 'of the moment' in art has increasingly followed the patterns of fashion. While in the past artistic styles were always inflected with signs of their modernity, today biennales and art markets are defined by the next big thing, the next sensation, the next new idea. But how do opinions of what is 'good', 'progressive' and 'cutting edge' guide styles? What is it that makes works of art fashionable and commercial?
Fashionable Art critically explores the relationships between art, commerce, taste and cultural value. Each chapter covers a major style or movement, from Chinese and Aboriginal art, Cubism and Pop Art to alternative identity and outsider art, exploring how contemporary art has been shaped since the 1970s. Drawing upon a variety of theoretical frameworks, from Adorno and Bourdieu to Simmel and Zizek, expert visual cultural scholars Geczy and Millner engage with both historical and contemporary debates on this lively topic.
Taking a complex view of the meaning of fashion as it relates to art, while also offering critiques of 'art as fashion', Fashionable Art is an original, key text that will be essential reading for students and scholars of art history, fashion studies and material culture.

Recenzii
This stimulating, informative and well-needed book navigates contemporary art with viewpoints that are as refreshing as they are incisive. Fashionable Art presents us with an array of surprises and is written with verve and wit. This is a very original contribution to studies in contemporary art, an essential read - but not for the faint hearted!
The question of what the 'contemporary' in 'contemporary art' means has rarely been approached in such a sophisticated and historically conscious way as here in Fashionable Art. By working from the premise that contemporary art is fundamentally bound to, mediated by and understood through the mass media, market and fashion, the authors lay out a fresh and utterly convincing account of how the contemporary as a mesh of communications and social systems, aesthetic principles and ideologies coherently underpins a vast and otherwise divergent range of art practices, from Aboriginal art to video to minimalism as design.
A lot of mostly uninteresting books make the claim that fashion is art. This book is much more interesting in that it claims that art today is like fashion. A spirited jeremiad against the contemporary art world that is worth reading and worth discussing. Adam Geczy and Jacqueline Millner may well be the Dave Hickeys of the new millennium!
...a fine overview of modern art and . a scholarly yet accessible discussion of fashion, art, media and market forces. Where competing premises would hold that fashion IS art, this book takes a slightly different approach in maintaining that art is like fashion - and it provides discussions on the process and patterns of fashion and how it dovetails with traditional art markets.
