Art....and Money.

Left: Incommunicado, M. Sarris 2015, Right: Special Edition Silver Dollar, Tim Noble and Sue Webster 2007

The readymade concept was tossed around and enjoyed by all who attended our last meeting.  What came out of this conversation was the thread that will lead to our next discussion topic: value and the commodification of art or more simply put, “Art and Money.”  


One could argue that this is an incredibly large and multi-faceted topic.  The readings included offer a range of ideas to think about including: the effects of money (sometimes very large sums,) on the art world, finding alternative methods of producing art to avoid this trap, and art made of money, to name a few.

I am including several articles and some that are quite long.  Dig in and see what you think.  It’s cold and snowy out there, why not settle in to a long read or two!  The next meeting will be: 

Monday, March 9, from 6 -7:45 at the library upstairs.  See you there!
