By Philip Ursprung

From a decidedly subjective point of view, art and architectural historian Philip Ursprung reveals the connections between art, economy, and architecture in this collection of fourteen essays. Critical reflection is stimulated by his unconventional intellectual paths, leading to partly novel, partly unexpected, but always surprising spaces of thought that make it possible to view phenomena in new, mutually dependent constellations. Values and Surfaces – Art, Economy, Architecture advocates a speculative historiography and calls for revising theoretical premises.
