Anotace
This unique and authoritative reference work contains around 2,000
clear and concise entries on all aspects of modern and contemporary
art. Its impressive range of terms includes movements, styles,
techniques, artists, critics, dealers, schools, and galleries.
There are biographical entries for artists worldwide from the
beginning of the 20th century through to today's globalized art
world, from conservatives and academics to the most controversial
of the avant-garde, from household names to a host of lesser known
figures. There are indications of public collections and publicly
sited works, and in-depth entries for key topics (for example,
Cubism, abstract art, and Conceptual art): this dictionary is a
fascinating and thorough guide for anyone with an interest in
modern and contemporary culture, amateur or professional. Formerly
the Dictionary of 20th Century Art, the text has been completely
revised and updated for this major new edition. Over 300 entries
have been added and it now contains entries on photography in
modern art as well as the new media such as installation and
Performance which are such a crucial element of the contemporary
scene. With emphasis on recent art and artists, for example Ai
Weiwei, Tracey Emin, and Damien Hirst, it has an exceptionally
strong coverage of art from the 1960s onwards, which makes it ideal
for contemporary art enthusiasts. Further reading is provided at
entry level to assist those wishing to know more about a particular
subject. In addition, this edition features recommended web links
for many entries, which are accessed and kept up to date via the
Dictionary of Modern and Contemporary Art companion website. The
perfect companion for the desk, studio, bedside table, or gallery
visits, A Dictionary of Modern and Contemporary Art is an essential
A-Z reference work for art students, artists, and art lovers.
