Being Given, 1 Degree Art, 2 Degrees Crime
Investigating the links between avant-garde art and the aesthetics of crime, this title aims to bridge the gap between high modernism and mass culture, as emblematised by tabloid reports of unsolved crimes. It is concerned with two key questions: What is it that we enjoy when we read murder stories? and What has modern art to say about murder?
