Adamson, Glenn. (Added Author). Pavitt, Jane. (Added Author). Antonelli, Paola. (Added Author). Victoria and Albert Museum (Added Author).

Summary: The radical ideas associated with postmodernism swept through the arts in the 1970s, but have always been hard to summarise. This book presents the movement as not merely an aesthetic vocabulary, but also as a subversive attitude - a new way of looking at the world.
