Kitsch: trash; art, literature, fashion etc dismissed as being merely of popular taste or appeal, vulgar, sentimental or sometimes pretentious. Celeste Olalquiaga's playful yet intellectually rigorous book reclaims kitsch from the dustbin of art history (the word derives from the German kitschen, to collect junk from the street).
