In a series of beautifully paced narratives, Sarah Thornton investigates the drama of a Christie's auction, the workings in Takashi Murakami's studios, the elite at the Basel Art Fair, the eccentricities of Artforum magazine, the competition behind an important art prize, life in a notorious art-school seminar, and the wonderland of the Venice Biennale. She reveals the new dynamics of creativity, taste, status, money, and the search for meaning in life. A judicious and juicy account of the institutions that have the power to shape art history, based on hundreds of interviews with high-profile players, Thornton's entertaining ethnography will change the way you look at contemporary culture.--From publisher's description.

Subcultures--social groups organized around shared interests and practices can take many forms. From the 1950s juvenile delinquent as portrayed by Elvis, James Dean and Marlon Brando to 'Taxi Driver's' Travis Bickle, from 1970s punk rockers Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten to 90s angst-ridden Kurt Cobain and Henry Rollins, from fans of 'Star Trek' to the current crowd of internet surfers, subcultures define themselves in opposition to 'others'-- workers, "achievers," "squares" and the "mainstream." They also differentiate among themselves and in doing so, create hierarchies of participation, knowledge and taste. Subcultures carve out their own territories, in both public and private spaces. Arranged in a similar manner to Routledge's successful 'Cultural Studies Reader', all essays have been specially selected and edited for inclusion, and are grouped in sections, each with an editor's introduction. The general introduction maps out the field of subcultural studies,illustrating how subcultures have been explored from a range of disciplinary perspectives, including social history, anthropology, cultural studies and media. 'The Subcultures Reader' brings together the most valuable and stimulating writings on subcultures, from work of the early work of the Chicago School to the present work being done by theorists such as Simon Frith, Marjorie Garber, Dick Hebdige and Lawrence Grossberg. It provides an essential guide to the field, enabling readers to understand how subcultural studies developed, the range of work it encompasses, and the future direction for the study of subcultures.

Des ventes aux enchères aux biennales et autres foires internationales, en passant par les musées, Sarah Thornton nous emmène dans les coulisses du monde et du marché de l'art. Commissaires-priseurs, collectionneurs, artistes, marchands… Comment se tissent les liens et évoluent les influences entre les différents acteurs de cette microsociété internationale ? Si l'ouvrage souligne la spéculation et ceux qui investissent dans l'art comme dans une valeur sûre, des questions de fond transparaissent : qu'est-ce qu'un artiste ? Existe t-il un corrélat entre le prix exorbitant d'une œuvre et sa valeur esthétique ? Vente aux enchères chez Christie's à New-York, discussion avec le français Philippe Ségalot, expert et acheteur pour François Pinault, séance d'une Master Class à l'Institut Californien des Beaux-Arts de Californie, Foire de Bâle… À chaque chapitre, nous découvrons une des capitales internationales de l'art et l'une de ses différentes facettes. On s'engouffre dans les coulisses de la remise du Turner Prize qui sacre l'artiste contemporain de l'année, à la Tate Gallery, à Londres. Retour aux États-Unis pour explorer la rédaction du magazine Artforum International. Puis direction Tokyo, et l'atelier de l'artiste Murakami qui a repensé le célèbre monogramme de Louis Vuitton, à la demande de Marc Jacobs. Enfin, l'enquête se termine à la biennale de Venise, dans le chaos de la plus ancienne exposition internationale. La biennale de 2009 se déroulera du 7 juin au 22 novembre.

Sarah Thornton volgde jarenlang 33 beroemde kunstenaars en was tijdens haar bezoeken aan hen als een vlieg op de muur. Ze ontmoet de politiek geëngageerde Ai Weiwei voor en na zijn gevangenschap, en ze spreekt met Jeff Koons over zijn rijke klanten in Londen, Frankfurt en Abu Dhabi. De lezer maakt verder kennis met andere wereldberoemde kunstenaars, onder wie Damian Hirst, Marina Abramović, Cindy Sherman en Lena Dunham. Waarom maken zij kunst en wat betekenen hun kunstwerken?In Wat is een kunstenaar? stelt Thornton de vraag of een kunstenaar bij uitstek een ondernemer is of het kunstenaarschap juist een roeping is. Is het een filosofische bezigheid of is het puur vermaak? Thornton is de perfecte gids, die de wereld van de moderne kunst voor iedereentoegankelijk maakt.Na het lezen van Wat is een kunstenaar? wordt de kunst waar je eerst je schouders voor ophaalde opeens bijzonder interessant en vermakelijk.
