If you had to narrate the history of art from 1940 to the present using one key artwork a decade, what works would you choose? For this essay, this is your task. Please select one signal achievement from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and discuss how and why this work sums up its era, in your estimation. As well, the goal is to make connections between and among these works (and others), and thus to offer an integrated account of the postwar years.
