Peter & Christopher,
The key difference between kitsch and camp seems to me
to be self-consciousness. Kitsch doesn't know it's
kitsch, while camp not only knows what it is but
craves it.
And where does the middle-brow fit in with all this
comparative discussion of high and popular culture?
Mark,
Your account of the Warhol auction was absolutely
fascinating. I'm curious to know if anything by
Basquiat featured in it and whether you might have
classified it as "tag sale" stuff(?).
Candice
