x, 226 pages : 24 cm, \"So begins Hans Belting's brilliant reconsideration of art and art history at the end of the millennium, which builds upon his earlier and highly successful volume, The End of the History of Art? Belting, \"known for his striking and original theories about the nature of art\" (the Economist), here examines how art is made, viewed, and interpreted today. Arguing that contemporary art has burst out of the frame that art history has built for it, Belting calls for an entirely new approach to thinking and writing about art. He moves effortlessly between contemporary issues -- the rise of global and minority art and its consequences for Western art history, installation and video art, and the troubled institution of the art museum -- and long-standing questions central to art history's definition of itself, such as the distinction between high and low culture, art criticism versus art history, and the invention of modernism in art history. With Art History after Modernism, Belting retains his place as one of the most original and controversial thinkers in the visual arts today.
