Art tomorrow

Abstract

"To what extent will it resemble the contemporary art we know now? In what ways is it likely to differ? Where are we? At an end? At a beginning? What is the 21st century art's new geography like? What are the new links between contemporary art and the Third World? Is art more and more part of the entertainment industry and how does the state interfere today with contemporary art? Can we talk about a new conservatism? Can we announce the death of the Avant-Garde? Edward Lucie-Smith looks at the factors; technological, social and aesthetic, which are likely to shape the art world in the next 100 years"--Provided by publisher.
