What is modern art? Why do we love or hate him? And why does it cost so much money? Join Will Gompertz on a fascinating journey that will make your understanding of our contemporary art forever.
From Monet's water lilies to Van Gogh's sunflowers, from Warhol's soups to Hjorst's bananas with pickled shark; hear interesting stories about world masterpieces, meet artists as they really were, and discover the true essence of modern art.
You'll learn that not all conceptual art is fluff, but some are; that Picasso is the king, but Cézanne is better; Pollock does not drip, but creates a work of art; how the urinal changed the course of art and why your five-year-old really couldn't do it.
"What are you looking at and what do you see?" - Gompertz asks all those direct and not always comfortable questions that you often think about, but are afraid to say out loud... After reading this book, your next trip to the gallery will be a little less intimidating and a lot more interesting.
