Beschreibung des Artikels

A lively and comprehensive overview of painting of the last 30 years, presenting work by such celebrated figures as Gerhard Richter and Neo Rauch, alongside emerging artists including Jumaldi Alfi and Ingrid Calame. Not only is this book an overview of contemporary painting, it is also an enquiry into how we experience its images, what they mean and why the practice remains vital. The venerable art of painting still thrives as a leading force in the art market. Painting Today explores the development of the medium, especially through the last forty years, and the diversity of paintings now being made internationally.
