The book has been updated to reflect recent scholarship in contemporary art and is divided into smaller sections for greater accessibility.

The book begins with a discussion of the difference between method and theory, before applying the varying approaches to works of art, including some new to this edition. The conclusion focuses on the way the study of art is informed by theory, providing a clear framework for understanding the subject.
