Summary:
From the 1990s until just before his death, the legendary art critic and philosopher Arthur C. Danto carried out extended conversations about contemporary art with the prominent Italian critic Demetrio Paparoni.

This book presents these rich dialogues and correspondence, testifying to the ongoing importance of Danto’s ideas.
