Talk:The Painted Word

'de-objectification of art'
The comment that Wolfe had made some correct observations such as re the 'de-objectification of art' gives the strong impression that he had identified certain trends for the first time. But The Painted Word came two years after Lucy Lippard's extremely influential survey of the same topic, Six Years: The Dematerialisation of the Art Object. I firstly suggest the replacement of the term 'de-objectification of art' with Lippard's, as what he describes has been taken into art language via Lippard's term. But also I just suggest removing this point altogether. Wolfe is a journalist - basic descriptive accuracy should go without saying, and it wasn't anything more revelatory than that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.232.59.224 (talk) 08:59, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
