Blow up! : the explosion of contemporary art

Shore, Robert (Robert M.)2025
Books
How did a urinal become art? And a can of tomato soup, a tent, a pickled shark. How do you get at one of the world's most powerful governments by smashing an old vase? How did what seemed like a prank at the New York Armory Show of 1917 explode to become today's global multi-billion dollar art world? This graphic novel answers these questions by following the lives of seminal contemporary artists and the stories behind their groundbreaking works.
