This collection of cultural criticism and art theory framed an entire discourse during the late 1980s and 1990s, which attempted to underline the connections between contemporary artistic practice and the political potential of art. Many of the texts have since become classics such as Rosalind Krauss’s Sculpture in the Expanded Field, Douglas Crimp’s On the Museum’s Ruins, Jürgen Habermas’s Modernity – An Incomplete Project, and Fredric Jameson’s Postmodernism and Consumer Society.
