This book provides an introduction to anthropological perspectives on art.
Svasek defines art as a social process. We study not only the artefacts themselves and the values attributed to them, but also the process of production and its wider context.
Providing a critical overview of various anthropological theories of art, Svasek offers a new perspective which centres on the analysis of commoditisation, aestheticisation and object agency. She explores the process of collecting and exhibiting art works and how this relates to art's production, distribution and consumption in an increasingly global market.

Reviews for Anthropology, Art and Cultural Production
I find it difficult to criticize this book as it includes all thetopics that I would wish to see in a modern textbook on the social anthropology of art ... I very much welcome this proposal
