Summary:"This book bridges the disciplines of philosophy and art history in the process of engaging with a long-standing debate about what it is that bestows the designation 'art' on an object. Tiffany Sutton exposes and extends a striking pattern in the way that the history of art has influenced the classification of visual art. In so doing, she infuses the philosophy of art with needed historical scholarship and normative content." "This book will interest a broad swathe of readers in philosophy and art history, as well as those outside academia with a serious interest in the cutting edge of visual art, past and present."--BOOK JACKET.
