In his view, the latter came to be preferred over the former as interest was elevated over quality. In ''[[The Return of the Real]]'' (1996), taking as his model [[Karl Marx]]'s reaction against [[G. W. F. Hegel]], he sought to rebut [[Peter Bürger]]'s assertion – which he made in ''[[Theory of the Avant-Garde$]'' (1974) – that the neo-avant-garde largely represented a repetition of the projects and achievements of the historical avant-garde, and therefore it was a failure. Foster's model was based on a notion of "deferred action" inspired by the work of [[Sigmund Freud]]. He conceded the failure of the initial avant-garde wave (which included such figures as [[Marcel Duchamp]]) but argued that future waves could redeem earlier ones by incorporating through historical reference those aspects that had not been comprehended the first time around. Gordon Hughes compares this theory with [[Jean-François Lyotard]]'s." | ||
