The much-anticipated second volume of Robert Storr's lucid, insightful
chronicles of modern and contemporary art
Following the success of Writings on Art 1980-2005, HENI presents the
highly anticipated final volume to complete a two-volume collection of
writings on art by Robert Storr, one of the world's leading art critics
and curators.
Featuring the best of Robert Storr's criticism--reviews, essays and
articles, many of which are previously unpublished--from 2006 to the
present day, the book includes his texts on artists such as Gego, Carrie
Mae Weems, David Hammons, Jenny Holzer, Jasper Johns, Gerhard Richter,
El Anatsui and Francesco Clemente. Written with his signature intellect
and wit, his writings range from essays on performances of femininity in
Cindy Sherman's photographic oeuvre to dialectics of race in the work of
Kara Walker.
Expertly curated from his prolific output, and illustrated with 175
images to accompany 51 texts, Writings on Art is the definitive
collection of Storr's multifaceted writing with his finger on the pulse
of contemporary art--a must-read for curators and students, artists,
exhibition-goers and all those interested in the art and culture of
today.
