Description - Commerce and Culture: From Pre-industrial Art to Post-industrial Value by Stephen Bayley
This series looks at all apects of design, its history and its future and is published in conjunction with the Conran Foundation's Design Museum which opens in July 1989, offering an international range of information and ideas on the practice and theory of design. This is an anthology of essays and articles which examine the relationship between consumerism and culture. It traces the history of interchange between products made for the market-place and those destined for the museum and in the process aims to question our asumptions about creativity, originality, ownership and value. There are essays by Emile Zola, Tom Wolfe, Milton Glaser, Walter Benjamin and Pierre Bourdieu.
