Over the course of the past decade, we have seen unrelenting levels of market speculation in contemporary and historical art at the same moment that global conflict and war has escalated and world economies have begun to crumble. Concurrent to these developments, there has been a new wave of interest directed toward the efficacy and function of art criticism. Judgment and Contemporary Art Criticism will engage with many of the key issues coming out of these conversations, specifically returning to the role of judgment and valuation in contemporary art writing.<\/p>\n

Described by Joseph Koerner and Lisbet Rausing as the \u201ctroubled objects of criticism,\u201d value and judgment are\u2014and have always been\u2014at the forefront of debates about the social function of the art critic. For many, the end of the twentieth century saw the mitigation of the importance of critical valuation established within high modernist discourses. Instead, many critics argued for a more open dialogue between texts and objects, pursuing modes of critique that allowed for the exploration of ambiguity and interpretation, thus detaching art writing from questions of quality.<\/p>\n

With the start of the new millennium, a growing chorus of critics began to suggest that a return to judgment was a remedy to the cauterized state of contemporary art criticism. Yet can judgment operate within new modalities of writing that hold open a reflexive space for ambiguity and dialogue? How would these new forms read? If, as Boris Groys has claimed, critical discourse today is an attempt to \u201cbridge the divide\u201d between the \u201cinherited older public office\u201d of the critic who judged art \u201cin the name of the public\u201d and the \u201cavant-garde\u2019s betrayal of this office,\u201d can new forms of criticism remake judgment anew, without explicit determinations of quality?<\/p>\n
