"In [t]his noteworthy collection of writings... Donald Kuspit illuminates some of the most pressing issues in the art and culture of our time. His task is an arduous one, given the momentous changes that have occurred in the art world of the 1980s... Kuspit's approach is unique in treating art from a psychoanalytical point of view without, however, losing sight of other issues and other points of view. In tackling a bold range of subjects, he brings a new and provocative voice to contemporary criticism."--from the Foreword.
