Product Description
Review
'Archer's admirable overview treats the history of art of this period in a manner which does justice to its diversity and its complexity of inter-relations, between different aspects of artistic practice and the actualities of the world in which they operate... a brave and intelligent attempt to live up to its implications' - Art Monthly
Product Description
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. Now revised and expanded, Michael Archer's acclaimed book is brought right up to date with discussions about the comprehensive globalization of art since the 1990s, which has been reflected in the growth of the exhibition calendar and the number of new museums opening around the world. With over thirty new illustrations and an updated timeline and bibliography, Art Since 1960 provides an indispensable survey and source of information on the evolution of art over the past four decades.

Format:Paperback
This book is great, I purchased it for my Contemporary Curation Unit at uni and really enjoy it. However, I should say that it isnt really one of those books you would read in one go, but it is perfect to dip in and out. Also, since English is not my mother tongue I still find it easy to read. It gives a great overview to the reader and illustrates good examples.

I bought this book for a humanities class I had to take as a graduation requirement. It is a very good book and consise. For a small book, it really packs a punch. Very well made and sturdy. The photos are very clear and crips and it is nicely made book. Very erudite art criticism which accompanies the book. There isn't a huge difference between the new and old edition - so if you find a cheap old edition - and want to save money - no biggie in terms of what is in the newer edition.
