Paperback. Condición: Fine. 1st. 203 pages, illustrations (some colour), colour maps; 22 x 28 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "This book complements a national traveling exhibition of Komar and Melamid's interpretation of the 'most wanted' and 'most unwanted' paintings of fourteen countries titled: The People's Choice, organized and circulated by ICI - Independent Curators International, touring to museums from September 1998 to December 2000. What is art? Who defines it? And why is high art so remote from most people? With the same puckish humor and critical genius that made them the betes noires of Soviet cultural commissars, the Russian emigre art team of Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid takes on not only the billion-dollar American art industry but also capitalism's most venerated tool: the market research poll. With the help of The Nation Institute and a professional polling team, they discovered that what Americans want in art, regardless of class, race, or gender, is exactly what the art world disdains--a tranquil, realistic, blue landscape. Painting by Numbers includes the original questionnaire and reproductions of the 'most wanted' and 'most unwanted' paintings the artists made based on American survey results and on polls they commissioned in ten other countries--including Russia, China, France, and Kenya--representing almost one-third of the world's population. Essays by JoAnn Wypijewski and noted art critic Arthur Danto, as well as an interview with the artists, explore the crisis of modernism, the cultural meaning of polls, the significance of landscape, and the commodificaion of just about everything. / JoAnn Wypijewski is a senior editor at The Nation. Her work has appeared there as well as in Harper's, Il Manifesto, and other publications. Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid, pioneers of Soviet conceptual art, were expelled from official Soviet artists' associations and subsequently emigrated to the United States in 1978." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: What do people want?; America's most unwanted; America's most wanted; Blue landscapes, bewitching numbers, and the double life of jokes: An interview with Komar and Melamid; Master questionnaire and poll results; Vox pop: Notes on a public conversation, by JoAnn Wypijewski; Blue world order?: A post hoc statistical analysis of art preference surveys from ten countries, by John Bunge and Adrienne Freeman-Gallant; The paintings; Can it be the "Most wanted painting" even if nobody wants it?, by Arthur C.
