Rise of the 60'S.

From the Publisher\nPart of Prentice Hall's new Perspectives series of modestly prices, heavily illustrated, high quality paperback books on specific subjects in art history. Both a synthesis and critical study, this exceptionally well-illustrated text offers a compelling, authoritative account of the cultural context of the art of the 1960s. Unlike most studies of the postwar period, which focus primarily on artists working in New York, it shows how the complex political and social setting across the American continent, and in Europe, drew out the responses of both male and female artists working in centers as far apart as Los Angeles and London.
