Canvases and Careers Today brings together contributions from the
eponymous conference organized by the Institut für Kunstkritik,
Frankfurt am Main. Its goal is to provide deeper insights and more
complexity to current debates on the relationship between criticism,
art, and the market.
"It was especially interesting for us to watch a kind of transatlantic
divide happening. While the US-American participants mostly declared
criticism as obsolete while hoping for turning its weakness into a
strength, most European participants departed from the opposite
diagnosis: that criticism has never been as strong as it is today, since
it is now part of a knowledge-based economy."--Isabelle Graw/Daniel
