About This Item
Yale University Press, 1997. 1st printing. Tight and unmarked hardcover, gently rubbed at corners. 416pp. Photos and illustrations. Dust jacket in a protective mylar cover. In this book - the first comprehensive examination of modern iconoclasm - Dario Gamboni looks closely at deliberate attacks against works of art in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He probes for motives and reassesses the circumstances in which institutions as well as individuals have attempted to eradicate public buildings, churches, sculptures, paintings, and other works of art. His interest spurred by the destruction of public monuments in the Communist bloc after 1989, Gamboni shows that iconoclasm is not just a thing of the past, but is also an international contemporary cultural phenomenon that includes explicable and inexplicable vandalism, political protest, and censorship.. First American Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - 8" - 9" Tall.
