Reuse Value (eBook, ePUB)

Spolia and Appropriation in Art and Architecture from Constantine to Sherrie Levine
Redaktion: Brilliant, Richard; Kinney, Dale

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a range of views on spolia and appropriation in art and architecture from fourth-century Rome to the late twentieth century. Using case studies from different historical moments and cultures, contributors test the limits of spolia as a critical category and seek to define its specific character in relation to other forms of artistic appropriation. Several authors explore the ethical issues raised by spoliation and their implications for the evaluation and interpretation of new work made with spolia.
