The Avant-Garde Never Left: Robert Hughes Described the Revolution and Then Declared It Over
Robert Hughes wanted it both ways. In the final moments of "The Shock of the New," his landmark 1980 BBC series on modern art, he declared the avant-garde dead and then, in the same breath, described its beating heart. He told us that the radical project of art was finished, that the market had swallowed it whole, that the institutions had filed its teeth down to nothing.
