- Abstract
This relation between art criticism and art history was of especial concern, and as the post-roundtable assessments demonstrated, the relationship between art history and art criticism took on a particular slant during the discussions. The "crisis" of criticism has recurred intermittently since the late 1960s, in which we encounter challenges to supposed authority - or, even, to its very credibility. Since the critic's experiential encounter with a work of art takes place in the present, Newman proposes that 'in the classic period of art criticism, the object is fundamentally not a historical object' ([12]). Matthew Bowman's 'The Work of Art Criticism: Collaboration, Communication, Community' seeks to resituate art criticism not as a redundant appendage, but rather as a function situated in a more complex place between practice and theory: what he terms "a dialogical space" between artist and critic ([6]).
