Does contemporary art have a history? This study attempts to look behind the foundational myths of modernism and contemporary art as heroic overcoming of everything old in the name of something new. A tradition of art’s reference to the present becomes visible here which is deeply rooted in that history when painting began to struggle for its status as art.

Helmut Draxler ist Professor für Kunsttheorie an der Universität für Angewandte Kunst in Wien. Er publiziert zu Theorie und Praxis der Gegenwartskunst, aber auch zu politischen und philosophischen Themen.
