Led by Matthew Kieran, author and Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Leeds

Saturday 18 April 2009, 14.00–16.30

This discussion will be deconstructing artistic value forty years since Lord Clark’s Civilisation. Clark assumes a connoisseur model of valuing art which contrasts with the subjective altermodern approach to appreciating art. What role if any is there for aesthetic expertise? Is the altermodern a more democratic stance than connoisseurship?
