Talk:Joseph Kosuth/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I posted the following no the Joseph Kosuth discussion page a few weeks ago and it has not been acknowledged, so I thought maybe best to post here as well.

I'm not sure about the etiquette of fixing incorrect info on articles so I am hesitant to change it without discussion first.

The following sentence is incorrect:

"Kosuth once declared that art is art if someone calls it art"

In Art After Philosphy, Kosuth attributes this quote to Donald Judd. In fact the entire manifesto serves to reject this notion. Kosuth has a very narrow idea of what constitutes art and even though he was friends with Judd, he did not agree with this statement at all.

I'm not proclaiming to be an expert on Kosuth, but I did just finish reading Art after philosphy and after and I've got it right here in front of me (page 17), so I'm fairly confident that this needs to be removed. The rest of the article seems accurate.

Thanks,
