When we look at the art that was created in the past we can see more clearly the works of art. In the world today, everyone can be an 'artist'. So, what are the today's "works of art?"

If you have any knowledge of art/art history, this book is basically useless. The information is painfully redundant and presented as if the author were writing for young children.

Required summer reading before my AP Art History course. Good intro into it for someone who doesn't know anything about art history. Made me reconsider some things I took for granted. I recommend this for people (especially high school students) who want to read an easy book that turns some concepts on its head and forces the reader to either consider a new way of thinking or defend their own. Good even if you aren't super into art/art history, but people who like museums (like me) will find it particularly interesting.
