Models of Integrity delves into the intricate interplay between contemporary art and the legal realm, exploring the profound connection between these two spheres. In the vibrant 1960s, artists embarked on a remarkable journey, engaging with legal concepts, rituals, and documents in a conspicuous manner. The law, a formidable institution subjected to rigorous moral and political scrutiny, held immense authority within the art world and beyond. Artists, driven by a quest to reclaim the integrity that had been diluted by the very institutions responsible for setting ethical standards, actively engaged with the law in innovative ways. Their artistic endeavors aimed to convey the social significance of their creations while simultaneously avoiding excessive politicization and maintaining a keen awareness of how aesthetic choices shape the way audiences perceive their everyday reality. By examining the pivotal role that law plays in empowering artworks to exert social and political influence, this groundbreaking book fills a significant gap in the interdisciplinary field of law and the humanities. It serves as a valuable resource for contemporary artists, offering practical guidance and insights into the complex dynamics of artistic expression within the legal framework.
