Reconsidering the notion of 'presence' in objects, this book contains a series of case studies covering ancient Greece and the Incas to industrial America and contemporary India, with examples from the canon of western European art. It reveals the evidence for this form of response, and shows how 'presence' is evoked in varying cultural contexts.
