...other hand, we also have to admit that in the last third of the century, modernism ran out of steam intellectually even as it gathered near dictatorial cultural power. Take the art world, for example: allied with the museums, the mass media and the marketplace, it began to wield, as early as the '70s, in Hilton Kramer's words, "a pervasive and often cynical authority over the very public it affects to despise."

I suspect that for a short while we will experience some fireworks between the opposing sides of the contemporary art scene. I suggest that museums have two curators, each expressing one side of the polarized modern-art controversy. They could compete by means of the artworks each chooses and engage in lively debates. Only then will people have an opportunity...
