About The Modernity of Ancient Sculpture

What can modern art have to do with ancient sculpture? Surely the excitement of modern art lies in its repudiation of classical example? Elizabeth Prettejohn's important and revisionist new book argues otherwise: that ancient sculpture and modern art have been in constant dialogue since Johann Joachim Winckelmann invented art history.
