review: Editorial Reviews Review "I have taught Survey of Art using Gardner since 1974. The Kleiner versions are masterpieces." "I find Art through the Ages to be head and shoulders above other survey texts in terms of its contextual treatment of the objects. Fred Kleiner's interest in explaining how and why objects functioned within their social, religious, political and funerary contexts effectively opens the door for further learning in the classroom."

He taught previously at University of Virginia and served as editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Archaeology.
