ART PAPERS 12.05 - Sept/Oct 1988

This issue examines how money and art are linked at every level of the art world, and how patronage, which used to mean supporting an individual artist, now means supporting institutions.

Inside, Jerry Allyn explores the support that the great padrome of the last eight years gave artists and minority groups; the symposium "To Have and Have Not: Who's Supporting The Arts Today" with Susan Krane, Robert T. Buck, and several other curators and historians examines those shifting mechanisms of patronage; William U. Eiland's interview with Winton Blount, who donated lands to build a space for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival; Michael J. Freeman's interview with pop-artist Keith Haring on his early graffiti work and museum spaces; and Mildred Thompson's interview with Meredith Monk and Nurit Tilles on the visual nature of their music.

Additionally, notable reviews include Timothy W. Luke's review of Hans Haacke's Unfinished Business, Susan Canning's review of Chris Burden's retrospection, and Marco Frascari's review of the Frank Lloyd Wright and the Johnson Wax Buildings exhibition at the High Museum of Art.
