From the 1920s to the 1950s it was considered by critics a moribund, even ugly, style. About 1960, however, a reappraisal began. Numerous exhibitions were held, scholarly publications on Art Nouveau began to appear, and prices for Art Nouveau objects soared. Art Nouveau was incorporated in the rebellious psychedelic style of the 1960s and finally achieved its place as a significant style in the history of modern art. E. M. Plunkett, Art Historian.
