Artspeak: A Guide to Contemporary Ideas, Movements, and Buzzwords, 1945 to the Present by Atkins, Robert - 1997

New York: Abbeville Press Publishers, 1997. 208 pages, illustrations (some colour); 23 cm. Tight, clean copy. "More than 115 entries clearly explain the who, what, when, and where of art since 1945. Some entries deal with concepts, such as formalism, multiculturalism, and the picture plane; some discuss specific movements, such as Abstract Expressionism and Fluxus; some describe various ways of making art, such as collage, performance, and video. Together they provide an invaluable key to the specialized, often baffling vocabulary so often used in today's art world." - Publisher.. 2nd. Paperback. Fine. 8vo.
