Synopsis
For a course on Contemporary Art.
Offering a critical perspective―rather than a traditional survey, this provocative text explores the art of the last twenty years―the latter 1970s, the 1980s, and the first half of the 1990s―in both a thematic and chronological fashion. Using an engaging and approachable style―and an abundance of color illustrations, it takes a long look at dominant tendencies in contemporary art in the United States, Western and Eastern Europe, and Russia―and provides a series of challenging view points on the most advanced art forms, themes, and issues.
