Contemporary Art: World Currents by Terry Smith 2011
Published by Laurence King Publishing, London 2011. Hard cover in good condition. Couple of very small signs of wear. A ripple in the cover to the left of the man's head and both the front cover corners are worn - all the photos except the first stock photo are of my book. I have priced the book at R450 though the prices on Abebooks are $69, $122 and $225. Very scarce.
"Contemporary Art: World Currents" argues that, in recent decades, a worldwide shift from modern to contemporary art has occurred. This has not, however, been a uniform change from one phase or style in the history of art to another. Rather, artists everywhere have embraced the contemporary world's teeming multiplicity, its proliferating differences, and its challenging complexities. Diversity--the contemporaneity of difference--not a convergence towards sameness, Smith argues, is what makes today¹s art contemporary.
The themes are: transformations in Later Modern Art, its contemporary aspects: the postmodern return to figuration; retro-sensationalist art; remodernism in sculpture & photography; spectacle architecture as contemporary art; contemporary art becomes style; Russia & east of Europe; post-communist art; South America, Cuba; China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, India & Southeast Asia; Oceania; Africa; West Asia; making art politically; climate change, art & ecology; socal media; permanent transition. Scarce title.
