This comprehensive volume examines the multifaceted evolution of Postmodernism across art, architecture, and design from 1970 to 1990. Through a curated selection of objects and critical essays, the text explores how the movement challenged modernist orthodoxy by embracing irony, historical pastiche, and radical eclecticism. It serves as a definitive record of the V&A exhibition, documenting the era's subversion of traditional aesthetics and its lasting impact on contemporary visual culture.
