Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Commencing with the critical emergence of the avant-garde in the early decades of the 20th century, this profile acts as a prelude to New Art focusing on the perceptual innovations and philosophical concepts that have determined the substance and direction of contemporary trends today. It takes its… impetus from recent publications and international exhibitions, including MoMA's Pioneering Cubism: the Picasso and Braque Dialogue in New York; the Dada and Surrealist Word-Image at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and On Classic Ground at the Tate Gallery, London. it likewise seeks to consider aspects of modern art from new angles, and to redefine its history from the standpoint of the late 20th century. Accompanied by full-colour illustrations, texts include important reassessments by international critics Germano Celant, Demosthenes Davvetas, Hal Foster, Judi Freeman, Walter Grasskamp, Donald Kuspit, Paul Taylor and John C. Welchman. In addition there are also extracts from Anna C. Chave's recently-published thesis on Mark Rotho reinterpreting the significance and "meaning" of Rothko's canvases in the light of his doubts concerning abstraction; letters by composer Erik Satie to influential figures such as Francis Picabia, Tristan Tzara and Andre Breton and excerpts from mark Rosenthal's text on Dancers on a Plane, the result of the creative collaboration of Jasper Johns, John Cage and Merce Cunningham which highlights the interaction of modern art with the disciplines of language, painting, music and dance and a dissolving and redefining of boundaries that has characterized the development of visual arts in the 20th century. Finally, the profile analyzes the movements of Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop, Minimalism and Conceptualism as well as the phenomenal rise of the international art market; other major artists include Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly and Joseph Kosuth. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
