Collective - Blow Up!: The Explosion of Contemporary Art

A nonfiction graphic novel that tells the story of a century of revolutionary contemporary art.
Against a backdrop of armed conflict (two World Wars, Japanese militarization, US troops in Vietnam, the Yugoslav Wars) and rapid societal change (democratization, successive waves of feminism, globalization), Blow Up! tells the story of contemporary art from Marcel Duchamp’s repurposed urinal to Maurizio Cattelan's taped banana.
Literal bombs explode and conventions go up in flames as a series of art objects shock and electrify society: a pickled shark, a stuffed hare, human blood.
