Blow Up! The Explosion of Contemporary Art - Graphic Novel

Blow Up! The Explosion of Contemporary Art is a graphic novel that tells the story of how modern art has challenged conventions. From Marcel Duchamp's urinal in 1917 to Maurizio Cattelan's tape banana.

It describes artworks that have shocked society, such as canned excrement, a pickled shark, and human blood, and how artists across time and geography – from Paris to New York, Tokyo to Miami – have inspired each other. The book examines how contemporary art continues to provoke and change perceptions of what can be considered art, even 100 years after Duchamp.
