Robbins identifies and amplifies the entertainment value of high culture, specifically in regard to visual art

David Robbins' latest book, High Entertainment, argues for a new kind of cultural production that combines the experimental ethos of art with the accessibility of entertainment. It eschews the specialized language on which art has increasingly come to depend, in favor of a communication model that elevates the vernacular mores to which we are exposed from our earliest years. Bringing together a selection of essays, an interview and artwork which explore the development of this philosophy, this book touches upon four decades of Robbins' engagement with the idea of High Entertainment beginning in the 1980s through its moment of clearest resolution with the advent of digital technology, all the way to the present.
