Summary: The New Art History takes apart art's hidden ideology gives the society which enshrines art a long hard look, questions the status of art and the automatic assumption that art means painting and sculpture asks what purpose art serves for the people who owned it and for those who look at it today in books, stately homes and galleries unveils the camouflaged therebetween art scholar and the art market and the use made of art by states and corporations anxious to polish up their images. This collection of essays by art historians and critics is he first overview of these new ideas to be published. The contribution's questions assertions, doubts and disagreements as they worry away at art and its history, throw down a challenge to both professionals in the field of art and to everyone concerned with visual imagery.
