Abstract
The old tension between the Academy and the new has vanished. Modernism is our institutional culture today. The consequences: neutralization of art by high market prices; the incestuous interlocking structures of museum and dealer; the attempts at a flight from this highly-organized system into conceptual art, earthworks, body art, art as not salable and not open to discussion; gradual but now complete fragmentation of the avant-garde; doubts about the future of painting; assimilation of self-expression to blatant narcissism, of contest to mere promotion, and finally, the death of the idea of the art movement as such. We are at the end of a cycle; we are not altogether sure how to use the art we have. Not even modernism can last forever. Join Robert Hughes as he presents the concepts of Modernism and modern art collectors, as well as public art performer Joseph Beuys. This series is Robert Hughes' history of Modern Art from Cubism to Pop and the Avant-Garde.
