When: 22–23 October 2009Where: SIK-ISEA, Zollikerstrasse 32 (near Kreuzplatz), CH-8032 Zurich Can you be born ahead of your time and still find an audience? It is a dilemma that faces every avant-garde artist who rejects mainstream taste and yet hopes to be a commercial success. Art criticism is an instrument that can help the creative worker to achieve both: revolutionary innovation and public recognition. A publication by SIK-ISEA now investigates the conflicted relationship between artists, art critics and the public. The new book focuses on the art historian Carola Giedion-Welcker.
