From Picasso's Cubism and Duchamp's readymades to Warhol's
silkscreens and Smithson's earthworks, the art of the twentieth
century broke completely with earlier artistic traditions. A basic
change in the market for advanced art produced a heightened demand
for innovation, and young conceptual innovators - from Picasso and
Duchamp to Rauschenberg and Warhol to Cindy Sherman and Damien
Hirst - responded not only by creating dozens of new forms of art,
but also by behaving in ways that would have been incomprehensible
to their predecessors. Conceptual Revolutions in Twentieth-Century
Art presents the first systematic analysis of the reasons for this
discontinuity. David W. Galenson, whose earlier research has
changed our understanding of creativity, combines social scientific
methods with qualitative analysis to produce a fundamentally new
interpretation of modern art that will give readers a far deeper
appreciation of the art of the past century, and of today, than is
available elsewhere.
