Studio and Cube: On the Relationship Between Where Art is Made and Where Art is Displayed by Brian O'Doherty (1-Nov-2012) Paperback

by Brian O'Doherty

When does an artist's creation become art, and where? Does it occur in the solitary confines of an artist's studio, or does it require the context of an art gallery's white cube? Studio and Cube is author Brian O'Doherty's long-awaited follow-up to his seminal 1976 essays for ArtforumInside the White The Ideology of the Gallery Space. In Studio and Cube he expands his interpretation to include the artist's studio, tracking the relationship between the artwork and the artist from Vermeer through late modernism.

sometimes, i think authors write in an inaccessible way. this is an example of that. if you strip this text down, it might only be a page or two. it was informative, but felt too self-important

Required reading for uni. I thought it was okay but it could definitely have been condensed to be more clear and coherent.
