I'm arguing that this activity isn't the challenge to "auction houses" that it's presented as. Linking art by "women or African-Americans, or non-Europeans" to "the canonised white men" will provide it with the kind of provenance that is important for selling artworks at auction. So those "big questions" have answers that are no more resistant to the art market than it's alleged those of connoisseurial art history are. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUCQpzAAoJECciMUAZd2dZ5acH/3JdKAcxL5rHiRO440LKg5Dy 97mUPP0fV92/XkDjFFQqPnpnH3+TXg+pHCaACwq66hSLSRPPlLAwD1S9ryzDU3SK 8Z+N92vLLK1//O3+/0tJvEnNx+GjhYIqLnWeXPhEV1GvW340jqLcexHDyFUGseZc V4gZqVCKU3Ssbb+lOHOqM2p90KbW0wQiB2OYBqqK2JltrL1ia6wP3T+KbevbspTe hlPXQCFmb9v4uV8D5IgTKbbKB0Wz/WQc8pz6ulYn1d+XxGQ1s9nMbr56TiavBdzi f6sGNJ0pHgkO3geX7fN+/KMvf6ZuhQoqVGg7VxCCEFc83s7QW1YTfCRtftudk2I= =oCNs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
