AFTER THE END OF ART

Originally delivered as the prestigious Mellon Lectures on the Fine Arts in 1995
, "After the End of Art" remains a classic of art criticism and philosophy, and
continues to generate heated debate for contending that art ended in the 1960s.
Arthur Danto, one of the best-known art critics of his time, presents radical in
sights into art's irrevocable deviation from its previous course and the decline
of traditional aesthetics. He demonstrates the necessity for a new type of crit
icism in the face of contemporary art's wide-open possibilities. This Princeton
Classics edition includes a new foreword by philosopher Lydia Goehr.
