Shock of the New

About this title: An expanded book version of an eight-part BBC television series, this volume presents a broad thematic summary of modern art. The title derives from a study of seven significant modern art exhibitions by a friend of the author, Ian Dunlop. Robert Hughes is the art critic for Time magazine, and one of the world's most respected, and controversial, authorities on art.
