And it is the writing here that really stands out. With easy erudition, personal anecdotes, and bon mots galore, Salle does the heavy lifting for the reader. Even of the many artists here whose work I do not know at all well, I felt that I learned something vital, or at least interesting. Although Salle abjures the language of theory, he is clearly familiar with it. And his anti-theory stance can only go so far before it begins to cultivate a theoretical language of its own. Nevertheless, most of the writing here is refreshingly accessible and engaging whether or not you end up agreeing with Salle’s opinions, a point on which he is not insistent.
Definitely worth reading.
