Organization of Contemporary Art - The Liquidation of Aesthetic Modernism

Starting from the 1990s, a "contemporary art" fever gripped the art world. Contemporary art museums, contemporary art galleries, contemporary art auctions, etc., which started operating one after another. A huge global art market was built through it. Istanbul, which is trying to make a move in the race between global metropolises, has become one of the centers of this market.
It is obvious that contemporary art is as organized as possible, but what it is is still a riddle. Universal resources of art such as art history, criticism and aesthetics, "What is contemporary art?" has only just begun to discuss the question. Examining the environments in which contemporary art is organized has a key place in these discussions. Ali Artun's writings also include: the rise of art management; management/business models adopted in biennials; the connection between design and contemporary art; auctioning of art; contemporary aesthetics, realism and violence; contemporary patronage systems; The fate of art history and criticism... But the main theme underlying all these issues is common: the liquidation of modernism.
