Proposals for Papers on Damien Hirst Sought by 2011 Conference Session Chairs
Type: Calls For Papers [View all]
Posted by: College Art Association
Deadline: 09/17/10
The chairs of a session for the 2011 Annual Conference seek proposals of papers for a panel called “Prophet/Profit: The Famous Case of Damien Hirst.”
Damien Hirst has garnered more global media attention and appears to have amassed more wealth than any other living artist. His work has transformed the relationship of artist and auction house and punctuated the halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Rijksmuseum. But what is Hirst’s place in art history? The scholarship on Hirst is thin on the ground compared to the miles of copy devoted to him in the popular press. We invite papers that address any aspect of his artistic practice, including its forms, themes, biographical issues, and socioeconomics.
When crafting your proposal, follow the guidelines established in the 2011 Call for Participation (www.collegeart.org/pdf/2011callforparticipation.pdf). Send your proposal to Debora Silverman at silverma@history.ucla.edu and Sarah Thornton at eyes.ears@btopenworld.com.
