Robert Smithson - The Collected Writings

Zusatztext “Smithson read widely and used that reading to create a style of criticism that is unique and deeply personal. ‘One must remember!’ he says! ‘that writing on art replaces presence by absence by substituting the abstraction of language for the real thing.’ His own vivid and very beautiful prose often provides some equivalent for that presence.” Informationen zum Autor Robert Smithson (1938-1973), one of the most important artists of his generation, produced sculpture, earthworks, drawings, and paintings in addition to the writings collected here. Jack Flam is Distinguished Professor of Art History at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. His Matisse on Art: Revised Edition (1995) is also available from California. Klappentext "An argument could be made that Robert Smithson is at least as important as a thinker and critic as he is as an artist, and in the art history of the Seventies, his words are certain to be returned to and returned to. He is one of those figures whose thought at once defines and transcends his own time."--Arthur C. Danto, author of Playing with the Edge: The Photographic Achievement of Robert Mapplethorpe Zusammenfassung This volume includes previously unpublished essays by Robert Smithson and gathers articles, interviews and photographs as well as a catalogue of the books in Smithson's library. Together they provide a picture of his wide-ranging views on art and culture.
