Contemporary art has absorbed fundamental changes into its internal conditions, including frameworks that approach art as a concept and as an image. This article examines the content of some of the principal theses of conceptual art, taking the work of Cindy Sherman as the empirical grounds for analyzing these frameworks. In fact this double of processing of turning various aspects of contemporary art into concepts and/or images represents a significant transformation in the artistic field. At the same time, the internal transformation seen in the artistic field also affects the relation between this same artistic field and the global social structure - in the case of this article, the relation between the artistic field and capitalism mobilized by the redefinition of the principle of "art for art's sake".Downloads
