About this book

9.5 Theses on Art and Class seeks to show how a clear understanding of class makes sense of what is at stake in a broad number of contemporary art's most persistent debates, from definitions of political art to the troubled status of "outsider" and street art to the question of how we maintain faith in art itself.

Ben Davis currently lives and works in New York City where he is Executive Editor at Artinfo.

<p>Join the art critic Ben Eastham on a private tour of an extraordinary museum. Let him walk you through a building constructed from memory and filled with a series of bewildering art works, while he delivers a guide comprised of personal experience, professional expertise and sympathy.</p><p>In this stunningly original audiobook, an introduction to contemporary art is combined with the author's own memories and reflections on what art means.
