"Currents presents the full spectrum of contemporary art activity from painting to environmental sculpture, from photography to performance. The present is looked at in the context of the past. Historical precedents, important shifts in focus, and significant individual contributions give the book a depth and comprehensiveness that are unique. Through profiles of important artists and explorations of widely used materials and techniques, Howard J. Smagula skillfully reveals the meanings which underlie much of today's best art." -- back cover.
