Critical theory outlining and critiquing the art-market by Robert C. Morgan. Forward by Bill Beckley. "Examines the separation of the art world from the notion of art as a unique form of creative expression. He argues that the boundary between contemporary art and popular trends in fashion, media, and entertainment is growing increasingly thin, and calls for a return to aesthetics and to an inner-directedness in art as distinct from a market driven art world." -- publisher's statement.
