The Art Ideal And The Metaphorical Value Of Art,
This review is from: FAMOUS : 121 Contemporary Artists (Hardcover)
It is quite relevant that collective art book exposure and the digitalization became the favorite trend foremost of the young and emerging contemporary artists, and also the whole artistic generation worldwide. This is a sign that the misrepresented visual discourse of "official" art is not longer important and representative of the global movement in art. The 121 Contemporary Artists selected and included in FAMOUS may not be all famous but one day they will because they have a well focused art ideal anticipating the future of contemporary art.

This review is from: FAMOUS : 121 Contemporary Artists (Hardcover)
This was too lightweight and many of the artists I found were pretty lightweight as well.Not really a study text, but a lovely book for the coffee table.
