As the clock ticks down on the 20th century people with a sense of wonder speculate on what the future may bring. If the artistic visions presented in Spectrum 4 are any indication, the next millennium will be by turns pagan, spiritual, high-tech, primitive, erotic, beautiful, whimsical, bizarre, frightening, and by all means amazing.

Selected by a blue-ribbon jury of artists, art directors, and designers, Spectrum features over 250 full color paintings, drawings and sculptures by more than 160 of today's most gifted creators of fantastic art. Also included in this landmark collection are the Association of Science Fiction & Fantasy Artists' Chesley Award-winners, an insightful illustrated look back at the previous year's artistic highlights, and Spectrum's recognition of two of the field's most influential illustrators, the legendary Leon & Diane Dillon, with the third Grand Master Award.
