La valeur de l'art contemporain
La valeur de l'art contemporain . Depuis son émergence dans les années 1970, l'art contemporain se confronte à la question de sa valeur, dans le double sens du terme : la contestation des normes esthétiques traditionnelles a, d'une part, rendu difficile l'attribution d'une valeur artistique stable à des oeuvres n'ayant pas encore fait l'épreuve du temps, tandis que le marché de l'art établit, d'autre part, ses propres critères, en valorisant avant tout la nouveauté et l'originalité. Le décrochage entre valeur économique et valeur artistique semble ainsi être devenu l'une des caractéristiques de l'art contemporain. Loin des polémiques, cet ouvrage propose de comprendre les processus d'évaluation de l'oeuvre contemporaine à partir des acteurs du monde de l'art.
