Title: Discrepant Abstraction
Description: The MIT Press 2006 Paperback, 224pp. Annotating Art's Histories: Cross-Cultural Perspectives In The Visual Arts. How the formal ingenuity of abstract art has been cross-fertilized by creative discrepancies—a cross-cultural voyage stretching from Hong Kong and Islamic regions to Canada, Australia, Europe, and the United States. For anyone who thinks the question of abstract art is settled, this book will come as a surprise. Discrepant abstraction is hybrid and partial, elusive and repetitive, obstinate and strange. It includes almost everything that does not neatly fit into the institutional narrative of abstract art as a monolithic quest for artistic purity. Heavy; Large. Foxing to the top edge of pages. (ISBN: 9780262633376). Very Good.
