What's Wrong With Contemporary Art?

Author(s): Peter Timms

History & Theory

In this provocative book, Timms asks confronting questions. Why is contemporary art so in thrall to spruikers and promoters, and why do their extravagant claims so rarely match the reality? Why does the market have such power, and how does it dictate the sort of art we are allowed to see?
