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.

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.

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.

The discussion of key figures such as Picasso, Matisse, Pollock and Warhol, and movements such as Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Minimal Art is animated by the most relevant concerns of contemporary art historical scholarship.

This book begins by considering responses by French artists to the First World War, showing how Purism, Dada, and early Surrealism are related to the ethos of post-war reconstruction. The authors then discuss the language of construction in places as dissimilar as France, Germany, and the Soviet Union; the contrasting demands of the utility and decoration of objects and paintings; and the relationship of surrealism to questions of sexuality and gender and to Freudian theory. The book concludes by addressing the widespread debate over realism in art: whether it represents an alternative to the elitism of the avant-garde or whether avant-garde art should play a role in the development of a modern realism.
