The Anti-Aesthetic: Essays on Postmodern Culture is a 1983 collection of essays that focuses on cultural criticism and post-modernism. Edited by art historian Hal Foster, The Anti-Aesthetic at the time of its publication was an introduction to ideas then current, primarily coming out of Europe, and featured critics, art historians and philosophers such as Jean Baudrillard, Jurgen Habermas, Fredric Jameson, Rosalind Krauss, and Edward Said. In print continuously since 1983, a new edition was published in 2002 by The New Press with a new afterword, positioning the book within contemporary art in the 21st century. The influence of The Anti-Aesthetic "defined the theoretical landscape" for cultural studies and visual art.
