Summary
In this book Martha Buskirk addresses the interesting fact that since the early 1960s, almost anything can be and has been called art. Buskirk begins with questions of authorship raised by minimalists' use of industrial materials and methods, including competing claims of ownership and artistic authorship evident in conflicts over the right to fabricate artists' works.--[book cover].
