THE JOURNEY OF CONTEMPORARY ART FROM MARCEL DUCHAMP'S REPURPOSED URINAL TO MAURIZIO CATTELAN'S TAPED BANANA.
How did a urinal become art? A can of soup? A pickled shark? A banana taped to a wall? This graphic novel follows the story of revolutionary contemporary art and artists over 100 years, from Marcel Duchamp to Andy Warhol, Yayoi Kusama, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marina Abramovic, Damien Hirst, Kara Walker, Tracey Emin, Maurizio Cattelan, and many more.
What started as a rebellious act at a 1917 exhibition has exploded into today's global, multibillion-dollar art industry. Bombs detonate and conventions go up in flames as a series of artworks provoke and electrify society. Across decades and continents--Paris, New York, London, Tokyo, São Paulo--discover how daring artists inspired each other, shattered boundaries, and sparked chain reactions that led to shocking and groundbreaking moments that reshaped art forever.
No matter how long people have had to get used to it, contemporary art continues to defy expectations, disrupt conventions, and inspire anew, proving that creativity has no limits.
