The biggest fluctuations usually
involve alternative coins, largely because they have yet to establish their worth and real - world use of their coins seem limited.
Thinking about abstraction's continued relevance may require me to at least mention Zombie Formalism, («Formalism because this art
involves a straightforward, reductive, essentialist method of making a painting and Zombie because it brings back to life the discarded aesthetics of Clement Greenberg»), if only to suggest that the term,
coined by artist - critic Walter Robinson, quoted in brackets above, seems to refer more to the market than to the art and may appear more pertinent in the USA than in the UK where
alternative modernisms have sometimes held more sway than the version associated with Greenberg and Fried.
