Happened upon this paperback in a thrift store recently and took a gamble on picking it up mainly because of the eye-catching cover. I also have a penchant for critical anthologies. To be honest, there is a lot in here that I began scanning through after the first quarter, mainly because some of this stuff is really dry. However, realizing that certain concerns of artists and critics then are related, if not the same as now is where my enjoyment of the entire book lay. Especially where concerning the commodification of art. Amongst the critical essays and brochure introductions, my favorite is definitely The Dilemna by Lucy Lippard; most of what she talks about is very relevant today. Honorable mentions go to The Creative Act by Marcel Duchamp and William S. Wilson III for Art: Energy and Attention. Would I recommend this book to anyone? If you are really into art criticism and want some grounding on what was in the air of the world of art circa 1966 to 1973 then yes. ( )
