PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

The author of The Fatal Shore and Time magazine's art critic here presents a greatly expanded version of a PBS television series on modern art, and includes some 270 color illustrations.

Textbook

I needed this for quite a while, it's simple to download and take with me to class. This is better then watching a 56 min video about it the words spoken in text when I can just skip to the good parts.
