- Abstract (en)
- This essay examines the British art market between the late 17th and late 18th cs. in the larger context of cultural production in the same period. The term "cultural production" is used as a generic category which includes the visual and plastic arts, the performing arts and literature. The first part of the paper describes the proliferation of cultural artefacts and performances, the development of new sites for cultural expression, the growth of an audience for culture, and the emergence of an extensive body of literature intended to evaluate this activity. The second part deals with the complex critical response to the growth in cultural production and the expansion of the cultural audience. The final section discusses the paradoxical place of the cultural producer in these developments.
