Just as Picasso’s Guernica or Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa survive as powerful cultural documents of their time, there will be works from our own era that will endure for generations to come. But which ones? Written by one of the freshest and most exciting new voices in cultural criticism, this book predicts which artists and artworks from the past two decades will come to define our age through their power to question, provoke and inspire. This extract from the book looks at Nan Goldin's 1991 piece 'Misty and Jimmy Paulette in a taxi, NYC'.
