Museum, Inc.: Inside the Global Art World

More about the book

The book explores the intricate relationship between corporate business and the art world, questioning whether art has been overshadowed by commercial interests. Through the author's insider perspective from his time at the Guggenheim Museum, it reveals that contemporary art museums are not a departure from historical practices but rather a continuation of cultural institutions shaped by Enlightenment ideals, colonialism, and democratic rhetoric. This examination provides a critical look at how these factors influence the current art landscape.
