Plot
"Artspeak: A Guide to Contemporary Ideas, Movements, and Buzzwords provides a valuable and illuminating lexicon of artistic genres, movements, and the vocabulary surrounding the world of contemporary art from 1945 until the present. To define art movements, the author uses a who-what-where categorization that gives basic information to the most baffled neophyte, but will sometimes also afford new insights to surprise the veteran gallery-goer.... If you need a quick brush-up course in contemporary art, or are mucking through the jungle of information for the first time, this is the book to carry on your next gallery crawl." --Art and Auction
