Internationally renowned German art critic and professor Isabelle Graw will consider what constitutes painting today and look at current measures of value in painting, from artistic to economic, through the lens of critical theory.
Graw's new book
The Love of Painting: Genealogy of a Success Medium aims to establish where painting can be seen today and to reconstruct the historical origins of its current popularity.
Based in Frankfurt am Main and Berlin, Isabelle Graw is a professor of art theory and art history at Staatliche Hochschule für bildende Künste (Städelschule) Frankfurt am Main. She co-founded the influential art publication Texte zur Kunst with Stefan Germer in 1990, and in 2003 she co-founded the Institut für Kunstkritik at the Städelschule with Daniel Birnbaum.
