Author Description

This book brings together the essays of some of today's most aware art critics, together with extensive photographic documentation of the works of the more significant European artists to have emerged in the 1990s. It was a period characterized by rapid transformations and by attempts at economic, social and political reconfiguration following events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the fragmentation into new states, the was in the former Yugoslavia, the introduction of the euro and the debate on the role of the European Union. This book is in fact an introduction to the artistic production of the last decade in the Old Continent, an overview, an interweaving of testimonies, of arbitrary stories, of paths trodden between history and chronicle.
