About This Item
New York: Harry N. Abrams; Prentice Hall, Inc., 1995. 176 pages, illustrations; 24 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. Profusely illustrated. "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." - Publisher.
