Abstract

“Works of art exist: how are they possible?” It is over a century ago that Lukács posed this question. But Lukács did not have to confront the “wholesale reduction of culture to a commodity”. This phenomenon, lamented on the left while the right celebrates “a more favorable attitude towards the commercialization of culture”. is nonetheless confidently affirmed by all sides, which “assert in the most ardent terms that art is, always has been, or has recently become, nothing but a commodity”. In a society like ours, claims to exist outside the circulation of commodities are rightly ruled out as hopelessly naïve: we are wise enough to know that the work of art is a commodity like any other. What is less clear is whether we know what we mean when we say it.
