I'd like to add a couple of titles, just for those who are interested:
After the End of Art, by Arthur C. Danto
and
Air Guitar, by Dave Hickey
The first is a very useful primer on the rise and scope of what we term 'post-modernism' especially as it relates to contemporary art-making. The second is a funny, depressing, engaging, and thought-provoking collection of essays about the art world from one of the more astute cultural critics working today.
Cheers...
