Böcker av Donald Preziosi

Art Is Not What You Think It Is presents a thought-provoking manifesto by two leading art historians which reconsiders current discussions on the idea of art, and offers new and challenging insights into its uses, meanings, and its very nature.

An overview of the theoretical and institutional history of the discipline of art history which refutes the image of art history as in crisis, asserting rather that many of the dilemmas of the discipline today can be traced back to its founding, institutionalization and expansion since the 1870s.

Preziosi's latest collection of essays, including a critical commentary by Lamoureux, suggests multiple interpretations and hidden resonances in each text, opening up alternatives to contemporary discourses on art history and visual culture.
