Philosopher/art critic Arthur Danto has written repeatedly about his
encounter with Andy Warhol's Brillo Boxes in 1963, and how that
exhibition represented the end of art history, because art at that point
had become philosophy--a question about its own nature.
encounter with Andy Warhol's Brillo Boxes in 1963, and how that
exhibition represented the end of art history, because art at that point
had become philosophy--a question about its own nature.
An obvious question to ask Danto is why this was true in Warhol's
moment, but not true at the time of Duchamp's readymades.
I believe that Danto has addressed this, but I'm not sure where. Can
anyone here point me toward the relevant book or essay?
Thanks in advance
