A pivotal text in post-modern art theory. In these essays, Brian O'Doherty framed an important and still unresolved theoretical debate about the display and consumption of art in the modern gallery space.
This book is a fascinating analysis of how the World of Art changed with the introduction of the gallery space. It examines the reaction of artists to the confines, both physical and psychological, of the gallery. I highly recommend this book for any student of art, or artist who wants to broaden their frame of reference with regards to art history and the current trajectory of contemporary art.
