What's Wrong with Contemporary Art?In this provocative book, Peter Timms asks confronting questions.

Why does the market have such power, and how does it dictate the sort of art we are allowed to see? Why are art schools, museums and the media apparently so eager to fall in line with commercial expectations? |
