Examines how populist politics and elite art shape modern cultural landscapes
Why do billionaires collect Banksy? How does street art embody both populist politics and the culture of the super-rich? This book examines the curious fusion of elite and popular taste, showing how artists and politicians amplify the ordinary to achieve fame, wealth and influence. From the auction houses of London to images of authoritarian leaders, and from the spectacle of Brexit to the online saturation of culture, Julian Stallabrass reveals how contemporary visual culture reflects and alters broader social and political dynamics. Controversial and incisive, Art in the Age of Populism situates the rise of populist art and politics in a critical cultural framework, shedding light on the forces shaping distinction, power and the public imagination in the twenty-first century.
