Abstract

Art is not a resistance to repression but a form of repression itself. Contemporary art, primarily painting, does not provide a traditionalist response to the values of its time, but rather responds to commercial market positioning. Art critics who emerged during the period of modernism debated specific problems of form, content, and meaning in visual artworks, through which they interpreted and evaluated the works objectively. Contemporary critics succumb to the commercial norms of the current market. This paper will present how, and in what ways, today’s commercial art interprets and evaluates artworks, whether legal markets are in fact legal, and to what extent the prices of artworks are realistic.
