The Art and Celebrity Culture

The uneasy crossover between art and celebrity has been much discussed in recent years. Artists as celebrities is hardly a new phenomenon, but the growing cult of celebrity in contemporary culture is throwing up paradoxical ideas about the contradictions between "high" art and mass appeal and blurring the already unstable boundaries between art, commodity and popular culture.

This is a lively and accessible study of the phenomenon -- the glitzy world where art and celebrity meet -- informed by a fundamentally serious look at what happens when the "serious" world of art collides with celebrity.

Global culture is now dominated by celebrities, some of whom -- like Madonna and Stallone -- are art collectors and some -- like Dennis Hopper and David Bowie -- are spare-time artists. Walker explains how artists such as Warhol, Gavin Turk, Jeff Koons, Elizabeth Peyton and Alison Jackson contribute to, but also critique, the cult of celebrity by depicting film celebrities, rock stars and royalty in paintings and statues.

Taylor Swift Looking at Colleges

So far it looks like Taylor Swift is headed for a college education. Several students at Notre Dame spotted her and Taylor herself posted on her Twitter that she was “looking at colleges with my brother”.

This is a good thing considering that music artists don’t make as much money as they did back in the 80’s and 70’s when there was no online piracy. And if you still live in fairytale land and believe many celebrities are really rich (and not overextended in credit instead) read all our blogs about broke celebrities. So if Taylor does get an education, she can always have a career once this one fades.
