Art & Today (Broché)

Art and Today is an innovative and extensive survey of international contemporary art from the 1980's to the present. Over four hundred of the most significant contemporary artists from around the world are representated in this comprehensive overview, some emerging, some mid-career, and others long established. Each of the book's sixteen chapters addreses recuring and relevant themes as diverse as art and popular culture, art and its institutions, and art and globalism, rather than follow a strict chronological, geographical, or stylistic structure.
Lively and up-to-date, Art and Today explores an era in which art defies simple categization. The result is a surprising and original yet clear and reasoned perspective on contemporary art that breaks from pescribed classifications to offer a survey as expa,sive as the art it describes.
