The original authors have been joined by David Joselit to provide the most comprehensive history of art in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries ever published.More than 120 articles are presented in a year-by-year structure, with each focusing on a crucial event€”from the creation of a seminal work to the opening of a major exhibition€”to tell the myriad stories of art from 1900 to the present.
