Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inclusion of popular culture in art, and the distinction between the two, we learn in this volume, are problems usefully approached through a careful definition of terms. Walker lays out the terms then surveys the field chronologically, beginning with Courbet and ending with Melrose Place. The third edition contains a new chapter on the art of the 1990's that includes discussion of surveillance, advertising, cinema, Damien Hirst, the Internet, and digital art. c. Book News Inc.
