MoreLong description:
A critical study of the life of art criticism in the 1970s, this volume traces the evolution of art and art criticism in a pivotal period in post-war British history.
JJ Charlesworth explores how art critics and the art press attempted to negotiate new developments in art, faced with the challenges of conceptualism, alternative media, new social movements and radical innovations in philosophy and theory. This is the first comprehensive study of the art press and art criticism in Britain during this pivotal period, seen through the lens of its art press, charting the arguments and ideas that would come to shape contemporary art as we know it today.
This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, British cultural history and history of journalism.
"JJ Charlesworth has tackled a generation of polemics and personalities through the prism of art criticism in the 1970s. Artists, museums, galleries, writers, collectors and publics: this "critical war" concerns us all."
- Sarah Wilson, Courtauld Institute of Art
