Public interest in modern art continues to grow, as witnessed by the spectacular success of the Tate Modern in London and the Bilbao Guggenheim. Modern Art: A Very Short Introduction engages general readers, offering them not only information and ideas about modern art, but also explaining its contemporary relevance and history. The book focuses on interrogating the idea of "modern" art by asking such questions as: What makes a work of art qualify as modern, or fail to? How has this selection been made? What is the relationship between modern and contemporary art? Is "postmodernist" art no longer modern, or just no longer modernist? In either case, why--and what does this claim mean, both for art and the idea of "the modern?"
Cottingham examines many key aspects of this subject, including the issue of controversy in modern art, from Manet's Dejeuner sur L'Herbe (1863) to Picasso's Les Demoiselles, and Tracey Emin's Bed (1999). He also looks at the role of the dealer from the main Cubist art dealer Kahnweiler, to Charles Saatchi.
About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam

Screws dont fit
Color: Beige
Got the frame set up no problem. Tried to get the legs secured, and the screws dont fit through the leg hole. Without the legs being secure, the divider will not stand up on its own. Total waste of time and money.

Window blocker
Color: Black
This is a nice blocking items, or to block windows. The worst part is putting it together, not an easy task. Nothing is labeled, it’s like a guessing game, it is still loose and crooked.

Don’t waste your money please

This was the absolute worst. Trying to assemble this was a total headache. None of the pieces seem to match and the end result was just horrible.
