Product Description

The concept of the “work of art” is paradoxically both widely used and often unexamined. This book re-evaluates the scope of “work ” “art ” and “the aesthetic” from the viewpoint of deconstructionist philosophy and suggests that Derrida’s analyses resolve some central questions in the discourses of contemporary visual arts.
