An extraordinary collection of over 100 essays which distill and commemorate some of the finest and most memorable art exhibitions of the last three decades. Ranging from early prehistoric art of the Ice Age to the performance art of today, and taking in nearly all the significant art in between, the book is an astonishingly readable and accessible introduction to the work of the world's finest artists. Richard Dorment was the art critic of London's Daily Telegraph. He wrote almost every week about the most significant art exhibitions throughout the UK, but also in Paris, Amsterdam, New York, and Washington.
Richard Dorment was born in the US and studied at Princeton and Columbia before joining the staff at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In 1986 he became the chief art critic of The Daily Telegraph in London, and in 1992 he won the Hawthornden Prize for Art Criticism. In 2000 he was named Critic of the Year’ in the British Press awards, and in 2014 he won the Holland Prize for his review of the re-opened Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. He was awarded the CBE in 2014 for his services to the arts. He retired in 2015. He has written several exhibition and museum collection catalogs, and academic books, but this is the first collection of his reviews to be published.
