Object Description
Printed text reads: “With the recent demise of the avant-garde, we observe a paradox central to bourgeois culture requiring the artist to assume, on the one hand, the role of rebel & hero in order to justify the ideology of competitive individualism & obliging him, on the other, to flout & scandalize the social & institutional conformism required by mercantile society."
