Kelly Grovier

Kelly Grovier's book on contemporary art, 100 works of art that will define our age, has been described as 'a major addition to the literature of art criticism and philosophy' (Library Journal) and 'the book that generated most debate this year' (The Daily Telegraph). It was named one of the best books of the year by The Daily Telegraph newspaper, The Huffington Post, The Independent newspaper, Metro newspaper, and Time Out magazine. His history of London's notorious Newgate Prison, THE GAOL, was selected as 'Book of the Week' by BBC Radio 4 and serialized on-air over five days.

He is the author of three collections of poetry, including The Lantern Cage, and has been described by reviewers as 'a poet of both truth and beauty' (The TLS) and 'a kind of William Blake for the twenty-first century' (Planet magazine).Kelly was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was educated at UCLA and Oxford University, where he earned his doctorate as a Marshall Scholar. He is a regular contributor on art to The Times Literary Supplement and co-founder of the scholarly journal European Romantic Review. He currently lives in Ireland.

Samenvatting

The years since 1989 have seen a complete untethering of what art can be, who makes it and where it can be found, which has been matched by a reassessment of art's appropriate place in society and the financial value that should be attached to it. In this new book in the World of Art series, Kelly Grovier surveys the dynamic developments in art practice worldwide since 1989, going in search of those artists who have undertaken to shape a fresh visual vocabulary and whose work reflects on these turbulent years.

The book's ten chapters examine the key themes in contemporary art, from portraiture in the age of face transplants and facial recognition software, to political activism, science and religion. Artists discussed include Jeff Koons, Louise Bourgeois, Damien Hirst, George Condo, Marlene Dumas, Sean Scully, Cindy Sherman, Banksy, Ai Weiwei, Antony Gormley, Christo and Jean-Claude, Jenny Holzer, Chuck Close and Cornelia Parker. The final chapter, a timeline, traces the evolution of art practice in this period by looking closely at one key artwork from each year.
