Diese Einführung in die kritischen Theorien der Kunstanalyse wurde aktualisiert, um die neueste Forschung in der zeitgenössischen Kunst widerzuspiegeln. Unter anderem wurde der Text in kleinere Abschnitte unterteilt, um die Klarheit und Zugänglichkeit zu verbessern. Das Buch beginnt mit einem überarbeiteten Diskurs über den Unterschied zwischen Methode und Theorie, wendet in den folgenden Kapiteln die verschiedenen Ansätze auf Kunstwerke an, und endet schließlich mit einem aktualisierten Fazit darüber, wie das Kunststudium von der Theorie geprägt wird.
