Design and Art, edited by Alex Coles, is one of a series documenting major themes and ideas in contemporary art. This title comprehensively surveys and looks beyond the phenomenon of ‘designart’ that has emerged since the Pop and Minimalist era: cutting-edge, hybrid practices that blur traditional boundaries between art, architecture, graphics and product design. Key debates about form and function, the everyday, the collective and the utopian are contextualized historically and theoretically by leading practitioners and critics from both the art and the design worlds.

Alex Coles is a London-based art critic and editor. He is the author of DesignArt (London: Tate Publishing, 2005).
