Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1990.  ISBN 0-87070-353-6.  Published to accompany a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art.  Hard cover, 460 pages including Notes, Bibliography, Credits, Lenders to the Exhibition, Trustees of the Museum of Modern Art, and Index of Illustrations.  Very heavy book, printed on heavier stock glossy paper.  Near fine; binding sound with headbands; touch of soil on bottom page block.  Dust jacket shows some cover wear, spine sunned, some creasing at spine head and short tear at lower rear spine edge.  Interior clean and unmarked; 626 illustrations with 193 being in colour.  ‘Since its beginnings in the late nineteenth century, modern art has had an extraordinary openness to popular culture – to styles and imagery derived, for example, from newspapers, advertisements, cartoons, and graffiti.  This striking and richly illustrated volume is the first encompassing history of that century-long dialogue between “high” and “low.”  In it, Kirk Varnedoe and Adam Gopnik trace the key exchanges through which artists have expanded the languages of art by taking up styles and form found outside the usual precincts of the museum; they show how those exchanges have constantly redefined for us the relationship between the private imagination and the shared energies of public communication.’ (from front flap)
