The Future That Was
Episode 8 of 8
Robert Hughes slips down the decline of modernism and examines how artists have dealt with commercialisation. Artists include Bridget Reilly and David Hockney.
Robert Hughes slips down the decline of modernism while visiting installations and watching art without substance. Once accepted as the dominant culture, the art of modernism found itself without an avant-garde and without the ability to shock or provoke other than as objects that cost absurd amounts of money. Hughes examines how artists have dealt with this commercialisation. Artists include Bridget Reilly, Joseph Beuys and David Hockney.
