A Materialistic Analysis of the Contemporary Art Market

Kerem Güman

Fiscaoeconomia, 2019, issue s1

Abstract: One can only imagine what if Marx lived till today and see the consequences of the late capitalism and think if his approach was indeed actual through all those ages. To see if the system evolved to a fateful catastrophe like Benjamin had predicted and if those populist turns in contemporary art have ever reached to a totality, a totality that which is rotten to the core but stands as a beacon of hope; a personification of the Angelus Novus itself. This article discusses those questions via a contemporary perspective and aims to open many spaces within.
