"Anthony Julius traces the history of subversion in art from the outraged response to Manet's Le Dejeuner sur l'Herbe to the scandal caused by the Brooklyn Museum's "Sensation" exhibition a century and a half later.
Throughout the book, and supported by the work of such artists as Marcel Duchamp, the Chapman brothers, Andres Serrano, Damien Hirst, Gilbert and George, Paul McCarthy, Jeff Koons, Hans Haacke and Anselm Kiefer, Julius shows how the modern period has been characterized by three kinds of transgressive art: an art that perverts established art rules; an art that defiles the beliefs and sentiments of its audience; and an art that challenges and disobeys the rules of the state.".
"The evidence assembled, Julius concludes his hard-hitting dissection of the landscapes of contemporary art by posing some important questions: what is art's future when its boundary-exceeding, taboo-breaking endeavors become the norm? And is anything of value lost when we submit to art's violation?"--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
"Transgressions in the first book to address this controversial subject. Anthony Julius traces its history from the outraged response to Manet's Le Dejeuner l'Herbe to the scandal caused by the Royal Academy's Sensation exhibition a century and a half later. Throughout the book supported by the work of such artists as Marcel Duchamp, the Chapman brothers, Andres Serrano, Damien Hirst, Gilbert & George, Paul McCarthy, Jeff Koons, Hans Haacke and Aneselm Kieler, Julius shows how the modern period has been characterized by three kinds of transgressive art: an art that perverts established art rules; an art that defiles the beliefs and sentiments of its audience; and an art that challenges and disobeys the rules of the state."--BOOK JACKET.
