So queries Charles Knight on the appointment of Art dealer Jeffrey Deitch in the Culture Monster blog in the LA Times.
I think the supposed clash of cultures that are the theoretical two sides of art world is laughable smoke and mirrors. Outrage in this case inflamed by Mr. Knight’s hierophant concerns amount to a disingenuous echo of our obstinate political system. The Academic world has long ago lost its way by denying the roots of foundation art and most galleries support the same attitude. Posturing like there are aesthetic differences between two worlds that have long intermingled underlines the power of invention to give one’s own opinion some fussy relevance. It’s all just jostling for political power of an incestuous world of fine line shaving that’s eating its own tail.
