. The 2001 edition was awarded both The McGuffey award for longevityref|Lit_Prize1 and the Texty award for current editionsref|Lit_Prize2 by the Text and Academic Authors Association. No other book has received both awards in the same year.
The first edition published in 1926 was written by Helen Gardner. It, like all following editions, was organized chronologically beginning with "The Birth of Art" in the Upper Paleolithic and progressing to its contemporary period.
Gardner's initial edition was notable in that along with of European art, it examined the art of other cultures. This broader view has influenced artists like Roy Lichtenstein as a studentref|Inf_Licht with its coverage not only of China, Japan, and Africa, but The Americas and the South Pacific as well. It continues to be a required text for American art students to this dayref|Req_Text.
