Well, in this case, it's from Theodor Adorno's "The Culture Industry." I read a few pages in the Google book link. Adorno is a more articulate and careful observer than most of the blog writers and restaurant reviewers that Berg usually quotes. But one still needs to read a fuller development of Adorno's argument. In any event, Berg is back beating his drum about money and art, but his concern is vague, diffuse, and only made by proxy using other people's words. What is your concern, Berg? Money sullies art? Commercial markets turn art into commodities? Rich philistines buy and sell art and drive up prices? Shit passes for art and commands high prices? Please, use your own inside voice and tell us in your own words. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Brady
