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. ...
