SynopsisThis lively volume contains 19 interviews with women art critics and gallery dealers which cover their impact on contemporary art. The subjects include those women who have been among the most influential in the art world from the end of World War II to the present, such as Paula Cooper, the first to open a SoHo gallery; Emily Grenauer, the only person to have received a Pulitzer Prize in art criticism; and Ileana Sonnabend, who, together with her husband at at the time, Leo Castelli, discovered Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol and the entire Pop movement., Robert Service has revised and updated his popular book on the Russian Revolution, offering an integrated account of politics, sociology and economics. He has widened the focus out from 1917 so as to cover both the final years of the Romanov dynasty and the inception of the Soviet order. In a concise, lively style, the book provides an assessment of various basic interpretations of the Russian Revolution.
