COMMUNITY REVIEWS

You've read the book... submitted by Lea on September 13, 2019, 9:43pm Robert Hughes "the Shock of the New" was a very influential book for those of us coming to Art in the 80's. The book contains many of the greatest works of Art of the 20th century. Thrilled to have found a first edition at a book sale with sharp clean plates. I have yet to see the BBC Documentary and will be surprised if I watch all 8 episodes through but we'll see.
