Overall, Art Since 1989 is a very interesting read on contemporary art trends. It does a solid, but somewhat limited job of describing some of the ideas and techniques used in the art world today. Contemporary art itself does not fit into a single aesthetic or ideological track as in other periods of art history, such as Impressionism, Expressionism or Cubism, and because of this it is difficult for an author to make a concise account of it. But, Kelly Grovier does a good job, making each chapter about different subjects in art, such as the Portrait, the Figure, Abstraction and Science, and how they are being interpreted in contemporary art today. For the most part, he is successful, but I found him to be a bit wordy in some places (the author is apparently famous for inventing the word "synphrasis") and some of his interpretations I felt missed the mark (in my opinion, maybe others would find them more relevant). But, all in all, I found the book interesting if not a little scattered, and I enjoyed learning about some of the different contemporary artists and their work. The diversity of ideas and techniques in contemporary art is really fascinating!

Great overview of what has been going on in art in the last 30 years. It might not be a full list, but it touches all the major topics. I loved how Grovier managed to explain complex art objects in a simple yet knowledgeable manner. An inspiring book for anyone interested in contemporary art

Отличное описание эпохи гипса ;)

Classic book for students so I had to check it out. My MFA students loved it when I assigned chapters. With lots of pictures to illustrate the ideas, the themes are addressed from a global perspective. This is not an in-depth look at contemporary art, but offers a topical introduction.
