Art Since 1960

A completely new section maps the developments in contemporary art since 2000, including the increasing influence of social and political change, globalised culture, the art market, and social media on artists working today. This ensures that Art Since 1960 remains an indispensable source of information on the evolution of art over the past five-and-a-half decades.

This intelligently argued critical overview is invaluable for the way in which it reveals and makes coherent sense of the often bewildering diversity of styles, forms, media, techniques, and agendas that proliferate in contemporary art. Art Since 1960 covers the key movements and styles of the period, from Pop, Minimalism, and Conceptualism to Arte Povera, land and environmental art, photorealism, performance, and graffiti art.
