Arte del XX secolo: Pittura, scultura, architettura

by John Jacobus, Daniel Wheeler, Sam Hunter

The third edition of Modern Art, now revised and expanded, narrates one of the great stories of our time - how European and American vanguard culture created modernist art by heeding the call "to make it new." Modern Art captures the sense of intellectual and aesthetic ferment through the close integration of its authoritative text and nearly nine hundred well-chosen illustrations. Right up through the present day, coverage ranges across a broad spectrum of visual arts, from painting, sculpture, and photography to conceptual forms, installation and video art, and architecture.

Honestly, It can be referred to references or bibliography rather than a best seller one. Wordy yea.

Blarg. Sometimes this book has a lot of interesting things to say, which kept me reading. A lot of the time they're just blandly listing off as many artists as possible. This is a very frustrating book, because it could have been really good if the authors had just focused in a bit more.

Completely Euro-centric upper east side view of the modern and contemporary scene.

This was my textbook for Modern Art in college. I still use it as a reference book.
