After the end of art : contemporary art and the pale of history

by Arthur C. Danto

This volume examines the shift of contemporary art into a posthistorical phase, arguing that traditional narratives no longer apply. It analyses the impact of Pop art and the emergence of a pluralistic landscape where the definition of art is no longer fixed.

brief_description
Danto argues that with the eclipse of abstract expressionism, art has deviated irrevocably from the narrative course that Vassari helped define for it in the Renaissance. Originally delivered as a series of professional lectures, these writings cover art history, pop art, "people's art," the future role of museums, and the critical contributions of Clement Greenberg.
