The historical avant-garde of the 1920s and the neo-avant-garde of the 1960s both aim to overcome the autonomous dimension of art and the distinction between art and reality. Nevertheless, if in the historical avant-garde the art still reveals the "other" of reality and, in this way, contrasts with what exists, the present artistic productions are conversely characterized by an "uncritical realism" that, denying every "other", abandons the possibility to trasform reality. Thus, if the avant-gard dreamed of redeeming life through art, the neo-avant-gard claims that art as such becomes life, since work of art abandons its "form".
Keywords: Art, Commodity, Globalization, Realism, Simulacrum, Spectacle.
