“The sphere of social production traditionally called “avant-garde art” and the one called, since 1947 (Horkheimer/Adorno), the “culture industry” have performed a successful merger. One force that fused them is fashion. (…) The fashion of the 1996 art season was fashion.”

Benjamin H.D. Buchloh, Critical reflections, ArtForum, January, 1997.
