In this intellectually wideranging book John Roberts develops a labor theory of culture as a model for explaining the dynamics of avantgarde art and the expansion of artistic authority in the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries.From Duchamp to Warhol, conceptual art, and the postvisual practices of the moment, Roberts explores the relationship between artistic labor and productive labor, and the limits and possibilities of authorship. In doing so, he confronts a recurring theme of both conservative and radical detractors of modern art in the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries: how is skill, and the seeming absence of skill in modern art, to be theorized and evaluated? Drawing on cognitive psychology, labor process theory, social anthropology, and debates in contemporary political philosophy, Roberts book establishes a new critical topography for examining the cultural form of art today.
