Where can it be found? What is its commercial value?—and, consequently, the reevaluation of art’s place in society.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nKelly Grovier surveys the dynamic developments in art practice worldwide since 1989, focusing on artists whose fresh visual vocabulary and innovation reflect these past turbulent decades. The book’s ten chapters examine the key themes in contemporary art—portraiture in the age of face transplants and facial recognition software, political activism, science, and religion, to name a few—by artists including Jeff Koons, Louise Bourgeois, Damien Hirst, George Condo, Marlene Dumas, Sean Scully, Cindy Sherman, Banksy, Ai Weiwei, Antony Gormley, Christo and Jean-Claude, Jenny Holzer, Chuck Close, and Cornelia Parker. A chapter-length timeline at the end of the book traces the evolution of art from 1989 to today by closely examining one key artwork from each year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIllustrated with the work of over 200 key artists, \u003ci\u003eArt Since 1989\u003c\/i\u003e is a lucid and engaging look at what may prove to be one of the more tempestuous eras in human history, if not the history of art.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKelly Grovier\u003c\/b\u003e is a columnist and feature writer for BBC Culture and his writings on art have appeared in the Times Literary Supplement, The Independent, Sunday Times, The Observer, RA Magazine, and Wired.
