Summary; This is the third of three text books, published in association with the Open University, which offer an innovatory exploration of art and visual culture.

"1850-2010: Modernity to Globalisation" includes essays which engage directly with topical issues around art and gender, globalisation, cultural difference and curating, as well as explorations of key canonical artists and movements and of some less well-documented work of contemporary artists.
