Abstract
Greatest Art - Play Art
The childlike and the playful are examined in their aesthetic manifestations in contemporary art. Whether painting, sculpture, installation or the self-representation of artists - the phenomenon of playfulness ranges from childlike visual languages to sports. And the art market also functions through playful levels that connect childishness to erotic attraction. The two theses presented above, "The adult is a better child." and "Art is the better childhood." are explained in these contexts. Of course, the art world is not understood as a real, pedagogical place of healing, nor is a pious faith in art to be reactivated. This essay discusses artists such as Joseph Beuys, Raymond Pettibon, Charlemagne Palestine, Andi Fischer, Okka-Esther Hungerbühler, Mehmet and Kazim, and Laurent Perbos. Excerpts from the Art Basel art fair serve as sociological insights into playful charms of the art market.
