Diese bis heute umfassendste, zweibändig angelegte Quellensammlung zieht ein enzyklopädisches Resümee der modernen Kunsttheorie in Europa und Amerika. Allen an Kunst, Kunstphilosophie und Kunstkritik interessierten Lesern stellt sie eine repräsentative Auswahl relevanter Texte zur Verfügung, die bisher nur schwer aufzufinden oder verstreut veröffentlicht waren. Die gebundene Ausgabe, die 1998 bei Hatje Cantz erschienen ist, wurde schnell zum 'Standardwerk der Standardtexte', das wir Ihnen nun als broschierte Studienausgabe zu einem sensationell günstigen Preis anbieten können. Die annähernd 400 Beiträge von Künstlern, Kunsttheoretikern, Philosophen, Soziologen, Politikern und Schriftstellern - Manifeste, Aufsätze, Briefe, Essays, Buchkapitel, Interviews, Vortragstexte von 1895 bis 1991 - wurden in acht Hauptkapitel chronologisch und thematisch geordnet und mit editorischen Einführungen versehen; ein Personen- und Sachregister dient der bequemen Erschließung. Gegenüber dem äußerst erfolgreichen englischen Original mit dem Titel Art in Theory von 1992 ist die deutsche Ausgabe um rund 75 Beiträge erweitert worden und macht zudem viele fremdsprachige Texte - von Kasimir Malewitsch bis Jeff Koons, von Georges Bataille bis Gajatri Spivak - erstmals in übersetzter Form zugänglich.

About 1/3 of the material is composed of new translations, with texts drawn from French, German, Italian, Norwegian, and Russian sources. It examines a broad range of themes including concepts of genius and originality, modes of landscape painting, approaches to Realism, the question of Modernity and debates over Impressionism, theories of optics and color, the aesthetics of photography, and the rise of photography. Each section is prefaced by an essay that situates the ideas of the period in their historical context, while relating theoretical concerns and debates to developments in the practice of art. Each text is briefly introduced by an outline giving the circumstances of its original appearance and indicating its relevance to the development of modern artistic theory.

The Challenge of the Avant-Garde is the fourth of six books in the series Art and its Histories, which form the main texts of an Open University course. The course has been designed for students who are new to the discipline but will also appeal to those who have undertaken some study in this area. This volume traces the challenge posed to the academic canon by the emergent avant-garde of the early and mid-nineteenth century.It looks at significant shifts in the development of the concept, both in moves away from the sense of social leadership to a desire for artistic autonomy in the later nineteenth century and then a reverse movement to bridge the gap between art and life in the revolutionary avant-gardes of the early twentieth century. The book closes with an examination of the eventual incorporation of the avant-garde as a form of modern canon by the eve of World War II. Throughout, it seeks to relate the discourse of artistic avant-gardism in all its forms to contemporary social and political histories.
