Book DescriptionThe uneasy crossover between art and celebrity has been much discussed in recent years Artists as celebrities is hardly a new phenomenon, but the growing cult of celebrity in contemporary culture is throwing up paradoxical ideas about the contradictions between "high" art and mass appeal and blurring the already ожяйу unstable boundaries between art, commodity and popular culture This is a lively and accessible study of the phenomenon -- the glitzy world where art and celebrity meet -- informed by a fundamentally serious look at what happens when the "serious" world of art collides with celebrity Global culture is now dominated by celebrities, some of whom -- like Madonna and Stallone -- are art collectors and some -- like Dennis Hopper and David Bowie -- are spare-time artists Walker explains how artists such as Warhol, Gavin Turk, Jeff Koons, Elizabeth Peyton and Alison Jackson contribute to, but also critique, the cult of celebrity by depicting film celebrities, rock stars and royalty in paintings and statues Celebritization has overtaken the art world too: Walker surveys 14 art stars of the twentieth century from Dali to Tracey Emin He also reviews alternatives: the left wing pantheon of figures such as Mao, Che Guevara and Rosa Luxemburg, and pictorial celebrations of the people Finally, Walker considers the pros and cons of celebrityhood for artists and its effects on current art, and discusses the return of the hero in the wake of September 11, 2001.  Книга маршала2003 г 297 стр ISBN 0745318495.
