Idiosyncratic Identities: Artists at the End of the Avant-Garde (Contemporary Artists & Their Critics)
Donald Burton Kuspit

Cambridge University Press, 1996

Postmodernism has been described as a decadent and pluralistic period, where avant-garde art has been institutionalised, stereotyped and effectively neutralised; and where models of art seem to stand in ironical, nihilistic relationship to every other.

Chromophobia (FOCI)3 reviews
David Batchelor

Reaktion Books, 2000

Color in all its problematic glory

+ brilliant and brevitous
+ one of few worthwhile books on color, not just for its cover

Batchelor's own take on color theory is not only a well-researched overview of color in art, architecture, cinema, and literature; it is also a call to action of sorts for artists to reclaim color from its minimalist bastardization in art and its commercial bastardization within the market culture. ...

Great piccies...plenty of authority types spouting about art...a key catalogue on yBa's...especially recommended for art students desperately seeking quotes from the stuffed shirts of art, on Saatchi's girls and guys...don't get hung up on the media controversy...it's only art...it can't bite ...
