Booklist Review

This popular survey of modern art painting, sculpture, photography, and architecture has been updated with coverage of figures who have come to international attention since the 1976 edition. Italian neo-expressionists and the cult celebrities of New York David Salle, Keith Haring, Julian Schnabel are all included as Arnason attempts to keep abreast of every major development, school, and idiosyncratic individual who may figure in the history of art in our time. The past history of the modern movement from the late nineteenth century on is also adroitly presented. A wealth of illustrations black and white with the text and color in portfolios of plates convey the visions of these artists. Bibliography; index.
