Reviews

Beautifully produced with colour illustrations, this is essential reading for anyone who has been bemused or intrigued by contemporary art.
*PD Smith, The Guardian*

Review from previous edition An invaluable guide to art of the second half of the twentieth century
*Sandy Nairne, former Director, National Portrait Gallery*

The intelligent and sophisticated synthesis of key debates makes this volume invaluable. This skilful re-integration of developments in the art of post-war Europe with that of America is impressive and controversial
*Patricia Bickers, Art Monthly*
