- Summary
- "The icon - this term has long since become detached from the idea of the devotional image. From the religious work to the artist as iconic figure to the pop star, its meanings are myriad these days. The present book accompanies the exhibition Icons - Worship and Adoration, in which the Kunsthalle Bremen pursues the evolution of the notion of the icon - from its origins in religion, its place in art history with such key works as the Black Square by Kazimir Malevich and Fountain by Marcel Duchamp, to the world of brands and pop culture. Thus, the book explores the question of how veneration and the idea of the supernatural are still linked with the term 'icon'."-- Back cover.
