Recenzii

Mouthwatering design-compact, colorful, sturdy. Can travel in one's pocket.
Admirable for its compactness, reader-friendliness, this 'very short introduction' is nevertheless notable for its wide-ranging discussion of matters germane to the field of contemporary art. Should be a treat for the art-lovers amongst the academics.
