Abstract

The essay looks in detail at Fried's concept of theatricality and analyses it in the light of his later writings on absorption. His arguments against minimalism are shown to be subject to a wider concern regards the ontology of the artwork and the shift to a non-representational ontology that minimalism expresses. This in turn leads to a conclusion about the status of the subject and sincerity.
