She finds that the dedication of Whitten's paintings inscribes them in a system of exchange. And, finally, the deliberate aesthetic meagerness of Banksy's \u003ci\u003eLove Is in the Bin\u003c\/i\u003e points to an emptiness at the heart of value. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstitut f r Kunstkritik series\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsabelle Graw (Frankfurt am Main\/Berlin) is Professor of Art Theory and Art History at the Staatliche Hochschule für bildende Künste-Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main.
