This revised edition, featuring ten new articles, is fully updated to take account of new critical approaches to post-war American art. Section one examines the legacy of the influential Modernist critic, Clement Greenberg, and section two focuses on revisionist texts, questioning the adequacy of Modernist art history and examining the role of cultural institutions in the United States and the relationship between Abstract Expressionism and the politics of McCarthyism during the Cold War.
