Omschrijving
Reconsidering the notion of 'presence' in objects, this book contains a series of case studies covering ancient Greece and the Incas to industrial America and contemporary India, with examples from the canon of western European art. It reveals the evidence for this form of response, and shows how 'presence' is evoked in varying cultural contexts.
'an excellent prospect. The group of contributors is outstanding, as well as satisfyingly international. The subject is one of the most important to have surfaced in art history since the late 1980's and one that this kind of cross-cultural 'world art history' approach can really help progress. I would expect the volume to arouse a good deal of interest.' Jas' Elsner, University of Oxford, UK
