"Among excellent younger critics now is Ben Davis."----Peter Schjeldahl, art critic for The New Yorker 9.5 Theses on Art and Class and Other Writingsseeks to show how a clear understanding of class makes sense of what is at stake in a broad number of contemporary art's most persistent debates, from definitions of political art to the troubled status of "outsider" and street art to the question of how we maintain faith in art itself. Ben Daviscurrently lives and works in New York City where he is Executive Editor at Artinfo.
