About This Item
Farrar Straus & Giroux, NY , 1992. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. "Andy Warhol's 'Brillo Box' of 1964 constituted a radical attack on the traditional definition of artwork and, in Danto's view, brought the history of Western art to a close. 'Beyond the Brillo Box' considers the aftermath and the consequences of Warhol's work on three levels. Danto first discusses what he calls the master narrative of Western art... He then takes up the current, post-historical period, which began with Warhol and the collision of 'high' and 'low' art... Finally, Danto addresses the philosophical idea of the master narrative from Plato to Wittgenstein and beyond..." [Dust Jacket] Danto won the 1990 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism. There is a protective mylar cover. STATED 1ST EDITION
