(30x23 cm); (4), 702, pp. Legatura editoriale in tela con sovraccoperta illustrata e titoli al dorso e al piatto anteriore. Con astuccio. Numerosissime illustrazioni in bianco e nero e a colori. Con le sue circa 7000 pagine pubblicate ad oggi ed oltre 6000 tavole illustrate a colori e in bianco e nero, la Storia dell'arte Italiana del '900 costituisce la maggiore impresa editoriale finora realizzata sull'arte italiana del XX secolo. Proponendosi di trattare tutte le personalità artistiche italiane del '900, senza tralasciare quelle minori, l'autore, famoso critico e studioso dell'arte Giorgio Di Genova, ha adottato un taglio generazionale basato sugli artisti nati in un determinato decennio. In questa generazione si contrappongono ragione ed emozione, ordine e disordine, in altre parole ordo e chaos, assoluto e relativo, struttura e apparenza, profondità e superficialità, linea e colore, materia e scrittura (Poesia Visiva e Mail art), collage ed assemblage, ideologia e lirismo, azione e dissacrazione (fino allo scandalo di De Dominicis alla Biennale), museo e ludismo, iconismo e aniconismo, anche monocromo, scultura e pittoscultura, film e teatro, sperimentalismo e nomadismo, Arte Povera e Arte Colta, naturalismo e concettualismo, pop art e neon art, attività individuali, collettivi e gruppi (tra i tanti Il Girasole, Il Moro, Immanentismo, Nuovi Nuovi, Verifica 8+1, Nuovo Futurismo, Transavanguardia, Anacronismo, Narciso Arte, Nuova Maniera Italiana, Madì, Artmedia, Cracking Art, Gruppo Aniconismo Dialettico, ecc.), tutti aspetti considerati con dovizia (anche di dati) in una ricostruzione finora mai affrontata, e pertanto inedita, del panorama della produzione dei nati nel quinto decennio del '900. Esemplare in perfette condizioni di conservazione, come nuovo.
