"For the past thirty years, Hal Foster has pushed the boundaries of cultural criticism, establishing a vantage point from which the seemingly disparate agendas of artists, patrons, and critics have a telling coherence. In The Anti-Aesthetic, preeminent critics such as Jean Baudrillard, Rosalind Krauss, Fredric Jameson, and Edward Said consider the full range of postmodern cultural production, from the writing of John Cage, to Cindy Sherm ..."
"Though they are largely unknown, sculptor, draughtsman and painter David Smith took photographs of great depth, beauty and precision throughout his career--from 1931 until his death in 1965. The large part of these images can be divided into two categories: the photographs of assemblages of found objects from the early and middle 1930s that were conceived as artworks themselves, and the pictures, taken mostly after 1945, that documented ..."

"During the early nineteenth-century, in both Canova's and Thorwaldsen's
neoclassical sculptures of The Three Graces (figs. 12 and 13), one finds the

bodies along a single, frontal plane, so ..."

"This indispensable collection of writings on one of the central artists of Minimalism, Dan Flavin, was published in the U.K. in 2004, but has not been available in the United States until now. The New York-born Flavin's radical use of commercially available fluorescent light fixtures to create shockingly beautiful installations, beginning in the 1960s, forever changed the definitions and boundaries of sculptural practice. This book asse ..."
