Rezensionen

"It is striking how much data Abbing has covered and examined in this book dedicated to the changes in the social and economic relations in the world of serious art. This is why I think this book is a goldmine for a researcher interested in the dynamic creative and commercial circumstances in which serious art was put after its dominance has gradually diminished throughout the 20th century." (Dusan Milenkovic, Popular Inquiry, Vol. 2, 2021)

"This is presented in a kind of textbook form. It is aimed at students and others who want to learn, has lots of summary-like headings throughout, with breakout-sections, 'asides' and QR links to a webpage where more 'data' can be found." (Justin O'Connor, Journal of Cultural Economics, Vol. 45, 2021)
