Abstract Art: A Global History by Pepe Karmel
An important new survey on abstract art that takes content as a guide to form, and breaks open the canon to make room for artists from across the globe.
'Karmel approaches the field not as a steady tunnelling toward nothingness, as figures and other discernible objects fell away, but as something more dynamic - and much less white, Western, and male' - Voguecom
