Abstract

Over the past four years, a persistent gallery goer could not fail to notice such restlessness with conventional media among young artists as to constitute a revolt against art. To object to this, as the New York newspaper critics have done, is all very well, although it amounts to nothing more than protesting against the anti-artistic in anti-art. Unabashed, the young artists go right ahead and paste the New York newspapers into their work. It would be much more relevant to ask what function a disgust with paint and bronze, and the whole formality of museums, is trying to serve in the first place.
