""Contemporary art in the early twenty-first century is often discussed as though it were a radically new phenomenon unmoored from history.

Richard Meyer reclaims the contemporary from historical amnesia, exploring episodes in the study, exhibition, and reception of early twentieth-century art and visual culture." - Publisher.
