Themes of Contemporary Art: Visual Art After 1980

I purchased this book as a requirement for a class at Liberty University, and it worked perfectly for my needs. The content is well organized and provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary art themes after 1980. It’s an excellent resource for anyone studying or interested in modern visual art. Highly recommended for academic use!"

As an art major, I’m reading this text for supplementation to prepare for the next level. It’s so well-written and engaging. I love the way it’s organized and can’t wait to get through it all! My only complaint is that the binding is barely holding up after less than a week of reading! I’m going to lose whole chunks of text. Will probably take it to Kinkos and have it put in a binder. I’m grateful to have gotten this at a very reasonable price, but wish it held up a bit better.

The book has been working well for a class I am teaching, but the book binding is really bad. All the pages are falling out as I make my way through the book!

The contents of the book are fabulous. However, I bought this book for school (at $60 a book) and it is falling apart. The book is a apparently not well made and I have chunks of 20+ pages fall out of the book. I need this book for school but it is hardly usable and who the heck can afford to buy another at $60 dollars a book. I am very disappointed

Horrible condition. Pages were all falling out. Returned for refund

I'm ONLY giving this text one star because of the atrocious binding- just as the other reviewers have said. You'd think for the price you have to pay that you'd get a book that doesn't fall apart while you're reading it. Using it for class is so frustrating!! :(

The content of the book is great! However, the physical book has horrible binding. As soon as I opened to a chapter the first page instantly popped out and with every page turn after that, more pages fell out. I had to tape them all together. Very disappointing considering I spent $70 for a faulty book.
