`An invaluable guide to art of the second half of the twentieth
century'
Sandy Nairne, Tate Gallery
`The intelligent and sophisticated synthesis of key debates makes
this volume invaluable. This skilful re-integration of developments
in the art of post-war Europe with that of America is impressive
and controversial'
Patricia Bickers, Art Monthly
