The first collection of essays by one of America's decisive and most
lucid critical voices
Following on from the much-lauded Robert Storr: Interviews on Art,
Heni presents the first in a two-volume publication featuring the
collected writings of Robert Storr, one of the world's leading art
critics and curators. Featuring the best of Storr's criticism--reviews,
articles and essays--from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, this publication
includes texts on a wide range of artists such as Jean-Michel Baquiat,
Louise Bourgeois, Carroll Dunham, Eva Hesse, Ilya Kabakov, Martin
Puryear, Louise Lawler, Bruce Nauman, Adrian Piper, Jackson Pollock,
Chéri Samba, Nancy Spero, Yvonne Rainer and Rachel Whiteread (among many
others). Writings on Art offers fresh insights on some of the most
influential artists of our era, and is a must-read for curators and
students, artists, exhibition-goers and all those interested in the art
and culture of today.
Robert Storr (born 1949) is a renowned American critic, curator and
artist. His writing has appeared in countless books and exhibition
catalogs. He was curator and senior curator in the Department of
Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, for more
than a decade, and became the first North American curator of the Venice
Biennale in 2007. Storr led the Yale University School of Art as Dean
from 2006 to 2016, and continues to teach there as professor of
painting.
