Three Cases Of Value Reflection - Isabelle Graw

Examinations Of Francis Ponges Texts On Jean Fautriers Hostage Paintings, Jack Whittens Memorial Paintings, And Banksys Auction Stunt Love Is In The Bin. This Book Contains Three Case Studies On Very Different Artists, Analyzing Their Work Through Their Respective Historical Contexts: The Writer Francis Ponge (18991988) And His Seminal Text On Jean Fautriers Hostage Paintings From 1943; Visual Artist Jack Whittens (19392018) Memorial Paintings And Banksys Notorious Auction Stunt Love Is In The Bin From 2018. Examining All Three Artistic Propositions From A Value-theoretical Point Of View, Graw Finds Ponges Text On Fautrier To Be Doubly Materialist Insofar As It (seemingly) Reveals Its Own Material Conditions While Simultaneously Grasping The Specific Materiality Of Fautriers Paintings; Suggests That The Indications Of Value In Whittens Painting To Be More Indirect; And Reveals Banksys Value Reflections To Have A Very Different Generational Thrust.
