THE STORY OF CONTEMPORARY ART

How do we experience being human in a world that seems to change so quickly? In exploring art's relationship to this question, Godfr ey asserts that multiple voices must be heard: critics, theorists, curators and collectors, but also audiences and artists themselve s. Key to the book is the story of how a perception that art was made almost exclusively by white men from North America and Western Europe has been radically overturned.
