Reviews for Art in Theory 1900 - 2000: An Anthology of Changing Ideas

"""Occasionally one comes across a book that is at once compelling and frightening, a book that excites and disorientates, a book with intimations of the sublime. Art in Theory is such a book. An indispensable source book."" (Arlis News-Sheet)"
