After The End Of Art: Contemporary Art And The Pale Of History (Princeton Classics)

Originally delivered as the prestigious Mellon Lectures on the Fine Arts in 1995, After the End of Art remains a classic of art criticism and philosophy, and continues to generate heated debate for contending that art ended in the 1960s. Arthur Danto, one of the best-known art critics of his time, presents radical insights into art's irrevocable deviation from its previous course and the decline of traditional aesthetics. He demonstrates the necessity for a new type of criticism in the face of contemporary art's wide-open possibilities. This Princeton Classics edition includes a new foreword by philosopher Lydia Goehr.

Now I can look at artwork after the '60's with a better understanding. I used to turn away from all of it. I still do not like much of it but my resistence is softened. Danto is a hero to me now.
