"Postwar art" as a book category refers broadly to visual art produced and discussed from the end of World War II to the present, centered on the seismic aesthetic, political and social changes that followed 1945. It encompasses major movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Fluxus, Arte Povera, and later Neo-Expressionism and contemporary practices, and covers a wide range of media — painting, sculpture, performance, installation, photography and video. Books in this category include surveys, monographs, exhibition catalogs and critical studies that treat themes of memory and trauma, the rise of consumer culture and mass media, Cold War politics, decolonization and globalization, identity and gender, and the institutional and market forces shaping art. Works may be historical, theoretical or curatorial, and range from richly illustrated coffee-table volumes to rigorous scholarly texts that situate artists and movements within broader cultural and socio-economic contexts.
