Overview
‘A celebration of art-making.’ – Wall Street Journal
An accessible, comprehensive, celebration of the vast range of human artistry from 28,000 BC to today, now available in a gift-friendly mini format
Phaidon’s groundbreaking book presents art differently from all other compendia by revealing the huge diversity – or in many cases, the similarity – of artistic achievements around the globe.
Images of more than 600 works from all periods and regions are arranged in chronological order, each with a short text that puts the work in critical context and explains its contribution to the development of art history.
