Summary:

Framed in a lucid discussion of the intellectual issues surrounding the postmodern movement, the essays in this book re-examine the course of twentieth-century sculpture through the work of twenty-five major sculptors.

From his penetrating insight into the mysteries of Marcel Duchamp to the deconstructivism of the 1960s to the spiritualism and conceptualism in the 1980s and 1990s, McEvilley masterfully explains how the shift from modernism to postmodernism in twentieth-century art created a new age, one in which doubt reigned supreme, becoming a powerful undercurrent and defining force in the sculpture of the last generation.
