Beschreibung:
Saun Ashton lectures and teaches at Wimbledon School of Art and Canterbury School of Art. He has a postgraduate degree in sculpture from the Royal College of Art, and a Ph.D. in art from Goldsmiths College. Whilst writing his Ph.D., Ashton came to the conclusion that artworks can be divided into two categories: those that exist to be experienced and those that exist to be written about. It was then he began to consider the notion of an artwork that didn't actually exist at all, that could be experienced only through a written appraisal. He soon expanded the meaning of the term 'artwork' to include cultural phenomena of all kinds.
Presented as a collection of articles about apocryphal artworks, exhibitions, books and other cultural phenomena, this book follows the convention of a collected writings book. Witty, funny and covers all genres as diverse as poetry, philosophy, biography, cookery books and technical manuals.
