How many times have you read a caption next to a work of art or a review of a contemporary exhibition and felt confused? The language used to describe modern art can often be more perplexing than the art itself. This fully updated and expanded edition of a bestselling guide offers a clear path through this confusing terrain, featuring over 450 concise entries on a wide range of modern and contemporary art. Drawing on the expertise of the world’s most visited modern art gallery, it serves as a comprehensive and authoritative resource for gallery-goers, art students, and general readers alike. Compact enough to fit in a bag or pocket, it covers everything from Abstract Expressionism and Body Art to Young British Artists and Group Zero, spanning from the dawn of Impressionism to the digital age. Each term—whether a theme, movement, medium, or practice—is defined with clarity and precision, including new entries on Aesthetics, Afrofuturism, Chance, Ethnography, Identity Politics, Taller Gráfica Popular, and the Uncanny. With an international focus and over 60 illustrations, this guide is the ideal companion for anyone looking to deepen their understanding and appreciation of modern and contemporary art.
