xviii, 461 pages, illustrations; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. *** "The waning of the century-old modernist movement in the arts has called forth an astonishing array of artistic and critical responses. The twenty-five essays in Art After Modernism provide a comprehensive survey of the most provocative directions taken by recent art and criticism, exploring such topics as the decline of the ideology of modernism in the arts and the emergence of a wide range of postmodern practices; recent directions in painting, film, video, and imagery; and the dynamics of the social network in which art is produced and disseminated. This major collection is an indispensable guide to the ideas and issues animating this decade's art--the far-reaching cultural reorientation known as postmodernism." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction, by Brian Wallis.

"[C]learly the single most useful and provocative document on its subject yet published. . ." --Artweek
"One of this book's many virtues is its incitement to hard thinking, its persistent scraping away of naive myths clustered around the art-making enterprise." --The Village Voice
