Description:

Just as Picassos Guernica or Gericaults Raft of the Medusa survive as cultural documents of their time, there will be works from our own era that will endure for generations to come. But which ones? This book predicts which artists and artworks from the past two decades will come to define our age through their power to question.

Synopsis:

Just as Picassos Guernica or Gericaults Raft of the Medusa survive as powerful cultural documents of their time, there will be works from our own era that will endure for generations to come. But which ones? Which contemporary artworks best capture the zeitgeist of the late 20th and early 21st centuries? This bold and engaging book, written by one of the freshest and most exciting new voices in cultural criticism, predicts which artists and artworks from the past two decades will come to define our age through their power to question, provoke and inspire. This is essential and enjoyable reading for all those working with and studying contemporary culture, as well as for the general art-lover keen to find a clear path through the maze of global contemporary art.
