Phaidon’s groundbreaking book presents art differently from all other compendia by revealing the huge diversity – or in many cases, the similarity – of artistic achievements around the globe.
Images of more than 600 works from all periods and regions are arranged in chronological order, each with a short text that puts the work in critical context and explains its contribution to the development of art history.
‘A celebration of art-making. A new edition brings the story of the world’s art even further up to date.’ – Wall Street Journal
‘A scintillating overview of art history… An indispensable companion for art and culture lovers.’ – The Arts Society magazine
