Art School: (Propositions for the 21st Century)

Leading international artists and art educators consider the challenges of art education in today's dramatically changed art world. Steven Henry Madoff, an award-winning writer, editor, and poet, has written extensively on contemporary art for such publications as Artforum, the New York Times, and Time magazine, and published numerous monographs on leading artists. He is Senior Critic at Yale University's School of Art. "The question of legitimation is central to the discourse of the art school: who is qualified to produce an artwork, how it is recognized by the public and, ultimately, whether or not authorized forms of culture may be desirable. For anyone concerned with art school education -- and the broader issues surrounding it, this book is essential reading."-, Department of Art History, Barnard College "Stephen Henry Madoff's anthology appears at a particularly apt moment, as the development of social, research-based, and post-studio forms of artistic practice raise questions about central tenets of traditional art education. With essays and discussions by important theorists, artists, and curators, this book lays the ground for a critical debate on the future of the art school."-, Director, Program in Museum Studies, New York University
