Based on their experience at the Städelschule in Frankfurt, Germany, the book’s authors reflect on teaching and learning art today, and what role societal aspects play in the art world.  "I don't think art can be taught.  I really don't," John Baldessari said in a recent conversation with students of the Städelschule.  A harsh statement, especially if you are reading a book called "Teaching Art".  What is it then that happens day in, day out, at an art institution?  The authors of this publication are professors or guest lecturers of Städelschule seminars.  Texts by Thomas Bayrle, Heike Belzer, Johan Bettum, Daniel Birnbaum, Michael Eddy, Mai Abu ElDahab, Okwui Enwezor, Isabelle Graw, Hanna Hildebrand, Walter Hollensteiner, Dietrich Koska, Michael Krebber, Pamela M. Lee, Niklas Maak, Vanessa Joan Müller, Sarah Ortmeyer, Hortense Pisano, Tobias Rehberger, Willem de Rooij, Simon Starling, Jan Verwoert, Jeronimo Voss, Mark Wigley, Wolfgang Winter, Catherine Wood.
