What is Great Western Salt Works by Jack Burnham (1974) about?
In the brief introduction to Great Western Salt Works: Essays on the Meaning of Post-Formalist Art, his 1974 collection of essays that originally appeared in Artforum and Arts Magazine, the critic Jack Burnham makes an unusual comment. He describes art as ‘the philosopher’s SALT’, a vague allusion to the use of salt in alchemy as a chemical that transmutes base metals into gold by uniting opposites.
