Abstract:

Review of the book, Art Lessons: Learning from the Rise and Fall of Public Spending by Alice Goldfarb Marquis [New York, NY: Basic Books, 1995. 304 p.].

A.G. Marquis, a visiting scholar at the University of California, has been an investigative reporter and newspaper publisher and has written books about Marcel Duchamp, Alfred H. H. Barr, Jr. and the entertainment business. Her discussion of the rise and fall of public spending for the arts focuses on non-profit corporations and federal and state agencies, for example, the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, the National Endowment for the Arts, state art councils, and a number of other organizations and associations that have composed the policymaking complex in culture since mid-century.
