The Story of Contemporary ArtA lively introduction to and history of international contemporary art from 1960 to the present. What does it mean? Is it really art? Why does it cost so much? While these questions are perpetually asked about contemporary art, they are not the questions that E. H. Gombrich set out to answer in his seminal book The Story of Art.

A lively introduction to and history of international contemporary art from 1960 to the present. What does it mean? Is it really art? Why does it cost so much? While these questions are perpetually asked about contemporary art, they are not the questions that E. H. Gombrich set out to answer in his seminal book The Story of Art. Contemporary art is very different from what came before. From the 1960s, where Gombrich's account concludes, artists began to abandon traditional forms of art and started to make work that questioned art's very definition. This is where Godfrey picks up the story. Developments in contemporary art have followed no straightforward line of progress or sequence of movements. Recognizing this, Tony Godfrey creates a narrative from a series of often dramatic creative conflicts and arguments around what art is or should be. From object versus sculpture and painting versus conceptual to local versus global, gallery versus wider world, The Story of Contemporary Art traces a history in terms of drastic changes in social and political life over the last sixty years. How do we experience being human in a world that seems to change so quickly? In exploring art's relationship to this question, Godfrey asserts that multiple voices must be heard: critics, theorists, curators and collectors, but also audiences and artists themselves. Key to the book is the story of how a perception that art was made almost exclusively by white men from North America and Western Europe has been radically overturned. Compelling and intelligent, but never academic, this book tells us how.

Great for men’s table side
Color: Black
I purchased this for my husband for a table side catch all it works really great and if he has anything metal as in keys, it will keep them off of the wooden nightstand. Great size all you need.

Great Value for the Money
Color: Black
I absolutely love this valet tray. I looked for one for a number of weeks on Amazon before finally purchasing one. I couldn't be happier. The quality is top notch for the price, it looks really nice on my nightstand and is exceptionally functional. I absolutely love this thing!

Nice Tray to Keep Organized
Color: Black
I like this small organizer to keep my personal go-to items on my dresser. I like that there is a place to keep my cell phone and notches for the cord. I also like the curved compartment for my sunglasses.
