Download or read book High Price Art between the Market and Celebrity Culture written by Lisa Schulz and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.0, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, course: Artists on Economy between Market and Critique, language: English, abstract: In her book “High Price – Art between the Market and Celebrity Culture”, the author Isabelle Graw analyzes and describes the relationship between symbol and market value of a work of art. Are they totally exposed or totally dependent; do they only affect themselves or do they even strive apart? All these considerations were discussed step by step and underlined by examples under various headings and contexts. She takes a look both at the art market, as well as on the goods, respectively economic market, and puts this into the context of today's existing Celebrity culture. From her words, it becomes clear that the art business, which was formerly organized according to the principle of "retail", is undergoing a major change. Deutsche Version In ihrem Buch „Der große Preis – Kunst zwischen Markt und Celebrity Kultur“ analysiert und beschreibt die Autorin Isabelle Graw, in welchem Verhältnis Symbol- und Marktwert eines Kunstwerkes zueinanderstehen. Sind sie völlig unabhängig voneinander oder doch total abhängig; beeinflussen sie sich nur oder streben sie gar voneinander weg? All diese Überlegungen diskutiert sie Schritt für Schritt und anhand von Beispielen unter verschiedenen Überschriften und Kontexten. Sie wirft einen Blick sowohl auf den Kunstmarkt, als auch auf den Waren- bzw. Wirtschaftsmarkt und setzt diese in den Kontext der heutig bestehenden Celebrity Kultur. Aus ihren Worten wird deutlich, dass der Kunstbetrieb, der ehemals nach dem Prinzip eines „Einzelhandels“ organisiert war, einen starken Wandel durchläuft. Da Graw Bezug zur Vergangenheit nimmt, die auch die heutige Zeit mitgeprägt hat, und zugleich aber auch Ereignisse, Meinungen und Themen aus der aktuellen Zeit miteinbezieht, um die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Symbol- und Marktwert zu beantworten, verbindet sie Theoriebildung und Gegenwartsdiagnostik, was den brisanten Charakter des Buches attestiert.

Download or read book Portraits of Courage written by George W. Bush and published by Crown. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A vibrant collection of oil paintings and stories by President George W. Bush honoring the sacrifice and courage of America’s military veterans. With Forewords by former First Lady Laura Bush and General Peter Pace, 16th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Growing out of President Bush’s own outreach and the ongoing work of the George W. Bush Institute's Military Service Initiative, Portraits of Courage brings together sixty-six full-color portraits and a four-panel mural painted by President Bush of members of the United States military who have served our nation with honor since 9/11—and whom he has come to know personally. Our men and women in uniform have faced down enemies, liberated millions, and in doing so showed the true compassion of our nation. Often, they return home with injuries—both visible and invisible—that intensify the challenges of transitioning into civilian life. In addition to these burdens, research shows a civilian-military divide. Seventy-one percent of Americans say they have little understanding of the issues facing veterans, and veterans agree: eighty-four percent say that the public has "little awareness" of the issues facing them and their families. Each painting in this meticulously produced hardcover volume is accompanied by the inspiring story of the veteran depicted, written by the President. Readers can see the faces of those who answered the nation’s call and learn from their bravery on the battlefield, their journeys to recovery, and the continued leadership and contributions they are making as civilians. It is President Bush’s desire that these stories of courage and resilience will honor our men and women in uniform, highlight their family and caregivers who bear the burden of their sacrifice, and help Americans understand how we can support our veterans and empower them to succeed. President Bush will donate his net author proceeds from PORTRAITS OF COURAGE to the George W. Bush Presidential Center, a non-profit organization whose Military Service Initiative works to ensure that post-9/11 veterans and their families make successful transitions to civilian life with a focus on gaining meaningful employment and overcoming the invisible wounds of war.
