The Books That Shaped Art History provides an invaluable roadmap of
the field by reassessing the impact of the most important texts of
art history published during the 20th century. Each of the sixteen
incisive chapters, focusing on a single book, is written by a
leading art historian, curator or one of the promising scholars of
today. In bringing these cross-generational contributions together,
the book presents a varied and invaluable overview of the history
of art, told through its most enduring literature. Each essay -
with writers including John Elderfield, Boris Groys, Susie Nash and
Richard Verdi - analyses a single major work, mapping the
intellectual development of its author, setting out the premises
and argument of the book, discussing its position within the field
of art history, and looking at its significance in the context both
of its initial reception and its legacy. Enlivening debates and
questioning the very status of art history itself, this is a
concise and brilliant study of the discipline and an invaluable
resource for anyone interested in visual culture and its histories.
