Description

Book Synopsis
From the 1990s until just before his death, the legendary art critic and philosopher Arthur C. Danto carried out extended conversations about contemporary art with the prominent Italian critic Demetrio Paparoni. Art and Posthistory presents these rich dialogues and correspondence, testifying to the ongoing importance of Danto’s ideas.

Trade Review
This book's dialogue between the greatest American philosopher of art and his distinguished Italian colleague presents a great deal of previously unpublished information, much of the highest value. You will find here vital details about the aesthetic theory and art criticism of Arthur Danto. -- David Carrier, author of Proust/Warhol: Analytical Philosophy of Art
The book is best for those who are Danto ‘completionists’ and those interested in Danto on philosophy of art qua art criticism. The preliminary essays are the most philosophically bountiful. * British Journal of Aesthetics *
Serve[s] as an effective introduction to Danto’s work for those unfamiliar with it and a fine coda to his career for the more well-versed reader. * European Legacy *
