Abstract
Abstract It is not empirical evidence alone which suggests that the “end of art” never happened: not when Hegel theorized the death of art as the life of philosophy, not when Heine announced the end of the “artistic period” on the occasion of Goethe's death, not in the so-called decadence of the last fin de siècle, not in Benjamin's theses on the end of auratic art, not in the “zero hour” of Germany in 1945, not on the occasion of Parisian graffiti in 1968 (“l'art est mort, ne consommez pas son cadavre!”) and not now that influential German journalists and critics such as Frank Schirrmacher and Ulrich Greiner have announced the end of East German art, as well as of a certain post-war West German literature deemed “guilty by association.”
