Developed over several years in a series of provocative and convincing essays, Raphael Rubinstein's concept of provisionality in art encompasses a wide swath of U.S. and European artists who have been redefining painting. Philosophers, theorists and other critics are heard from, too. It's a terrific book. * Elizabeth C. Baker, Editor-at-Large, Art in America, USA *

[This book] is a fascinating study in skeptical digression. The author has managed to erect a transparent monument to the inescapable paradox of thought thinking itself, which makes for itself the most interesting of art. -- Tom McGlynn * The Brooklyn Rail * Developed over several years in a series of provocative and convincing essays, Raphael Rubinstein's concept of provisionality in art encompasses a wide swath of U.S. and European artists who have been redefining painting.
