  During the past forty years, profound and multifarious changes have taken place in art: stylistic divergence has become the prevailing characteristic. This intelligently argued survey explores the perennial question--art's relationship to everyday life--which links Pop, Minimalism, Conceptual, Land, Performance, Body and Installation art and myriad developments in the work of Warhol, Beuys, Bourgeois and the many other artists whose works are discussed and illustrated. With a timeline that shows movements, key figures and important world events at a glance, and full bibliography, Art Since 1960 provides a unique and indispensable overview and source of information on the evolution of art over the past four decades. 180 illus., 74 in color.

  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.
