An accessible, comprehensive, and recently updated celebration of the vast range of human arts, from 28,000 BCE to the present day.
Fully updated for this revised edition and now available in a new compact format, this new edition of Phaidon's groundbreaking book presents art differently from all other collections by revealing the immense diversity—or, in many cases, the similarity—of artistic achievements across the globe. The images of more than 600 works from every era and region are arranged chronologically, each accompanied by a short text that places the work in its critical context and explains its contribution to the evolution of art history.
