Sinopsis
In-depth art-historical reflection on value judgments in art by one of Europe’s leading curators
"This is a necessary book. The concept of quality is key in the history of art, and often little understood."
— Miguel Falomir, Director, Museo del Prado
"That this is a legitimate question, even a necessary one, is argued by Vergara in a pleasurable manner, with the pace and attitude of a peripatetic thinker. There is something here that reminds one of Montaigne or Stendhal."
– Antonio Muñoz Molina, El País
"This wonderful and wise book made me look at the artwork without intimidation or any confusion. It is a great pleasure to be guided by the experienced eye of Alejandro Vergara."
— Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
