According to Joseph Alsop, art is defined, and I believe rightly so, by eight epiphenomenons.4 Incidentally, design share with art all of those eight epiphenomenons: there are collectors of design, a history of design, a market for design, design museums, design forgery, re-evaluation of taste, antiquities (for instance bakelite telephones or Umbrian majolica), and super-prices. Still, it is evident that design is subsumed under an other discourse than art.
