4.5 stars, would be 5 stars if all the works featured were in color.
Exceptional history of Abstract Expressionism -- If you loved Art History in school, but didn't get a chance to take a course that fully covered Abstract Expressionism read this book, even if you just read a few chapters on the painters that interest you, you'll come away with a wealth of knowledge and a understanding of the movement I can't wait to go to MOMA and other museums to see some of these works in person.
