David Starkey
Goldsmith Lecture

The Inquiring Mind writes “Starkey is in great form in this lecture where he excoriates conceptual art

“For the inaugural Goldsmiths’ Company lecture, Dr. David Starkey spoke on the subject of “When I Hear the Word ‘Art’, I Reach for my Gun”, and focused on art: the word and the idea.

Starkey is convinced that the misappropriation of the word ‘art’ by the conceptual art clique in the last half-century or so has poisoned the term beyond redemption. It has made it useless historically and hopelessly discriminatory when applied to the so-called ‘decorative arts’ in contemporary culture.” — The Inquiring Mind, WordPress
