Glam emerged in the early 1970s and remains one of the most instantly recognisable - but critically derided - stylistic phenomena of 20th century art and culture. This book is a prism through which to view and refract artistic developments in Europe and North America, shedding new ligh on the extravagance of art, performance and visual culture at this time.
