Pros & Cons
Pros
Former tate gallery guru tells it like it is, especially about the incomprehensible art-jargon used by artists and curators. I find it best to read the book with my laptop nearby, googling the works of art as i read.
Highlights
Quality
This is a nicely crafted description of the various styles of art from impressionism through contemporary
This is a very good survey of modern art especially in showing how one ism relates to another
Then he waxes tedious describing the pieces in detail and loses me
There are some textual descriptions but words being 11000 of an image are insufficient
