{"product_id":"the-story-of-contemporary-art","title":"The Story of Contemporary Art","description":"An instant classic—a lively new introduction to contemporary art that stretches from Andy Warhol's Brillo boxes to Marina Abramović's performance art to today's biennale circuit and million-dollar auctions.\n\nEncountering a work of contemporary art, a viewer might ask, \"What does it mean?\" \"Is it really art?\" and \"Why does it cost so much?\" These are not the questions that E. H. Gombrich set out to answer in his magisterial The Story of Art. Contemporary art seems totally unlike what came before it, departing from the road map supplied by Raphael, Dürer, Rembrandt, and other European masters.\n\nIn The Story of Contemporary Art, Tony Godfrey picks up where Gombrich left off, offering a lively introduction to contemporary art that stretches from Andy Warhol's Brillo boxes to Marina Abramović's performance art to today's biennale circuit and million-dollar auctions. Godfrey, a curator and writer on contemporary art, chronicles important developments in pop art, minimalism, conceptualism, installation art, performance art, and beyond.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0262044102\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0262044102.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Godfrey, Tony\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
