Rezensionen

- Michael Asbury, University of the Arts, London
"Though theoretically sophisticated, this volume isaccessible and engaging. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates throughprofessionals/practitioners." (Choice, 1September 2013)"Crossing continents, historical periods and cultural genres,Jonathan Harris skillfully traces the evolution of utopian idealsfrom early modernism to the spectacularised and biennialised (orbanalised as some would say) contemporary art world oftoday."
