Art isn't a quantitative, data-focused world where an equation can make or break validity or significance. Thornton tries to step out of a sociological perspective into that of an artist/critic OFTEN in her talks and writing. Most people in her position do the same thing. Those that can't, talk about how others can. And oft' fuck it up.
I hate how art today is reduced to a job position that can be "acquired" through the same kinds of "hard work" that makes a good investor....in the eyes of critics that is.
I found 7 days in the art world in Brooklyn Fulton street between bedford and Nostrand. This book really enriched my understanding
borrowed it from the library, would not have spent a nickle for it. same for the 33 artists/gods in 3 acts.
