Reviews

'A genuine landmark, presenting the story of 20th-century art with unparalleled immediacy' - Elle Decoration 'Takes the stuffing out of the subject where and when it can' - The Spectator 'Teeming with ideas ... an enormously enjoyable account of the state of play between art and society' - The Times 'Robert Hughes is the best of guides, enthusiastic, astringent ... neither smug nor condescending' - Observer

When it first appeared Robert Hughes's book was hailed as 'probably the best introduction to modern art available to the general reader', and the years that followed have established it as a classic. This edition brings us into the 1990s and confronts art with a powerful challenge for its future. It combines style and wit, anecdote and scholarship to encourage you to look at art with new eyes.
