Description
Summary:NO ONE'S SERVANT, EVERYONE'S PRIVATE LOVER Beauty Edited by Dave Beech Whitechapel Gallery and The MIT Press, 2009 240 pp./$24.95 (sb) Beauty and aesthetics were separated following the French Revolution as social changes fostered a sense of self in relation to community and state that politicized the individual. In his introductory essay, Beech mentions several artists for whom beauty is a valued by-product of an investigative process of making (Liam Gillick), in the driver's seat (Pipilotti Rist), or navigating through social and cultural terrains (Jeff Koons).
