Summary:

Despite globalization not being a precisely-defined construct, its impact extends to the art world. Harris (global art and design studies, U. of Southampton, UK) offers the viewpoint that artwork cannot be understood apart from the society in which it is produced. In this valuable contribution to the re-conceptualization of contemporary art as a global ideology and practice, international scholars in art history and theory, social sciences, cultural studies, business, and related disciplines discuss how artists and agents for collection, exhibition, sale, and pedagogy can function within a transnational system. The volume features case studies (e.g., on economic equity for indigenous art), b&w art illustrations, and data on the global art market.
