On L’Artiste, l’institution et le marché by Raymonde Moulin
Sur L’Artiste, l’institution et le marché de Raymonde Moulin
Résumé
L’Artiste, l’institution et le marché (unpublished in English version) represents the most accomplished book of French sociologist Raymonde Moulin. Published at the beginning of the 1990’s, it analyses the creation of art value, at the junction of institutions and of the market. The purpose is based on multiple first hand and second hands empirical data that deal mostly with the French context of the 1980’s. The data is very acutely analyzed, far beyond any conceptual or theoretical dogmatism. This trait largely explains why the book was so acclaimed when it was initially published, especially in the art world and also why, along time, it became a classic in the sociology of art domain.
