Where can it be found? What is its commercial value?--and, consequently, the reevaluation of art's place in society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kelly Grovier surveys the dynamic developments in art practice worldwide since 1989, focusing on artists whose fresh visual vocabulary and innovation reflect these past turbulent decades. The book's ten chapters examine the key themes in contemporary art--portraiture in the age of face transplants and facial recognition software, political activism, science, and religion, to name a few--by artists including Jeff Koons, Louise Bourgeois, Damien Hirst, George Condo, Marlene Dumas, Sean Scully, Cindy Sherman, Banksy, Ai Weiwei, Antony Gormley, Christo and Jean-Claude, Jenny Holzer, Chuck Close, and Cornelia Parker. A chapter-length timeline at the end of the book traces the evolution of art from 1989 to today by closely examining one key artwork from each year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Illustrated with the work of over 200 key artists, \u003cem\u003eArt Since 1989\u003c\/em\u003e is a lucid and engaging look at what may prove to be one of the more tempestuous eras in human history, if not the history of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.2 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 07, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756300075296,"sku":"9780500204269","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d48f161c684358cc50974c1f426567fa.webp?v=1780078316","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/art-since-1989-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
