About this book

The art sciences underwent a profound change in the wake of the student revolts and the politicisation of the universities in the late 1960s. Young academics demanded far-reaching institutional and substantive reforms, a democratisation of educational institutions, a reform in aesthetic education, a new, "critical" understanding of science and a stronger embedding of science in society. New themes were introduced, societally relevant questions were developed and new approaches in academic co-operation were tested. The volume examines the effects of the 1968 movement on the history of art, especially at universities and art colleges, but also in museums and the exhibition industry.
