Hard Cover/Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. A FINE book in a bright, clean, tight dustjacket sans flecks, tears, stains, and discoloration, in a MYLAR PROTECTIVE COVER. "In most surveys, postwar art is presented as a tidy sequence of movements: abstract expressionism, pop art, minimal art, and so on. The eight essays that form the core of this volume provide a more provocative approach. Taking as their subject the conjunction of history and art history, the social and the formal, the personal and the political, the authors examine the art of the recent past in new ways. Rather than reiterating art-historical categories or demarcating decades, they illuminate the ideas that have shaped contemporary art and demonstrate how individual artists have contributed to its evolution."
