| Summary: | "Money Talks: Art, Society and Power explores money from a global perspective, considering this concept through the examination of a variety of art objects. The roles played by the commissioning process, technology, politics, and satire are discussed in essays by various leading scholars. Meanwhile, an 'objects in focus' series highlights specific objects from the exhibition that this book accompanies, examining them with an eye to the themes of money, society and power. Together, they expose the tension between the power of money and the playfulness of art to reveal fascinating social, cultural, and political narratives." -- Publisher's website. |
