Completely revised, this book has been expanded to cover the important developments in recent art, architecture and photography. There is an increased focus on all modern art media, including photography, performance art, installation art, collaboration, video and mixed-media works. Over 100 new illustrations, definitions of new terms and many fresh primary-source quotes enrich the text, and more black artists and women artists are included. Greater contextual information means that the reader is always aware of the political, social and historical context of artists under discussion, further enhancing the value of a book that remains the standard work in its field.
