Reviews

For over 30 years, artist and critic Richard Kalina has asked his readers to look beyond artworld rhetoric for authenticity and value in our ever-changing visual landscape. This selection of essays traces key developments and A-list artists, while foregrounding influences and individuals on the margins of accepted artworld practices. * Rene Paul Barilleaux, Head of Curatorial Affairs, McNay Art Museum, United States *
