Reviews

'The definitive history of twentieth-century art ... spectacular, and painstakingly conceived' - Gaby Wood, Observer

'The book is important, not because it gives neat answers but because it raises questions' - Sir Nicholas Serota

'The significance of 'Art Since 1900' can’t be underestimated: psychoanalysis and poststructuralism are now inescapable methodologies that must be taken on board by mainstream art history' - Claire Bishop, Artforum

'A remarkable collective work. It criss-crosses the entire twentieth century in complex and fascinating ways. Written by four of the most innovative scholars of modern art history today, it is a landmark' - Briony Fer, University College London

'This is no ordinary survey ... it opens theoretical and historical perspectives on twentieth-century art with a sparkling clarity every reader will appreciate' - Mignon Nixon, Courtauld Institute of Art

'The truth is that this is a lot more than a book. In fact, think of it as a season ticket to all the world’s galleries, Google, and the far corners of the internet rolled into one … This is an extraordinary book, extraordinarily well managed' - Art Book Review
