State of the Art
"https://www.amazon.com/State-Art-Ideas-Images-1980s/dp/0701130865" is the title of a book by Sandy Nairne. I know that "State of the Art" has several meanings, but as the title of this book, does it mean "the condition of art" ?
Top answer
Yes. In her meaning it would properly be " the state of the art", but she took perfectly ordinary poetic license in using only the familiar expression as her title despite the difference in meaning, since you can indeed drop an initial article that way.
