This book is an answer to those who consider modern art to be either snobbish nonsense or outright deception. What is the meaning of Malevich's Black Square? What did Andy Warhol mean by depicting countless cans of tomato soup? And what does a urinal have to do with anything? In his fascinating and sometimes shocking account of a century and a half of modern art history, Will Gompertz does not set out to evaluate any particular work. He gives his readers a "short course" of cultural codes, which allow them to navigate the contemporary art space on their own and to recognize where there is "nothing" and where there is a masterpiece.
