Key Points:
- "The wealthy buy themselves participation in this free zone through ownership and patronage, and they are buying something genuinely valuable; the state ensures that a wider public can inhale at least fir a while the scent of freedom that works of art emit." (Stallabrass, 2004, 4)
- "The economy of art closely reflects the economy of finance capital" (Stallabrass, 2004, 4) This means that art could be a representation of a successful economy and therefore buy owning art it is a reflection of this wealth.
Reflections:
- This book may be good to come back to in the future, but as for now, it doesn't provide me with any key contextual information.
