Abstract:
"New Republic art critic Jed Perl brings to this collection of twenty-six essays his uncompromising critical engagement with the contemporary art world. Perl presents bold, almost novelistic explorations of contemporary artists - including Balthus, Jasper Johns, Bruce Nauman and Joan Snyder - within the broader context of a lively discussion of museum and gallery goings-on."--BOOK JACKET.
