Book
'The shock of the new' combines style, wit, pertinent anecdote, critical poise and scholarship to provide an exhilarating history of a century of art that has puzzled, threatened and outraged its detractors - and captivated its admirers. Robert Hughes has written a major new chapter which not only brings us into the present with the story of the art that was modern, but confronts that art with a powerful challenge for its future.
