With an introductory essay and concise overviews of each exhibition by art historian Bruce Altshuler, Biennials and Beyond is a unique sourcebook that offers direct access to the most influential exhibitions of the last 50 years. It is the companion volume to Phaidon's 2008 Salon to Biennial - Exhibitions that Made Art History: 1863-1959 , winner of the Bannister Fletcher Award for best new book on art or architecture.
