In 1980 the BBC broadcast Hughes's television series on the development of modern art since the Impressionists. It was accompanied by a book of the same name. Its combination of insight, wit and accessibility are still widely praised.
The Shock of the New (1981)
Companion book to Hughes' TV documentary series of the same name. Thames and Hudson ISBN 0-500-27582-3
- The essential difference between a sculpture like Andre's Equivalent VIII, 1978, and any that had existed before in the past is that Andre's array of bricks depends not just partly, but entirely, on the museum for its context. A Rodin in a parking lot is still a misplaced Rodin; Andre's bricks in the same place can only be a pile of bricks.
