Art Today

This is an international survey of contemporary art, taking a critical look at the work of established artists and exploring broad international trends and movements. The book takes the impact of feminist, structuralist and postmodern theories on the visual arts as a central theme. The dominance of New York as a centre of the art market is discussed and the work of lesser-known artists from around the world is acknowledged. In addition, there are features on contemporary art in France, Britain and Russia.
