The New Art: A Critical Anthology

Today’s critic is beginning to seem almost as essential to the development – indeed, the identification – of art as the artist himself. The purpose of this volume is to bring together some of the best recent critical essays on the new art in the United States. Most of these articles date from after 1960, and were originally published in periodicals and museum catalogues. But in keeping with the new role of the critic as interpreter, the pieces included in this anthology do more than simply describe, or even define their subject; their authors are actively and consciously engaged in the preparation of a new aesthetic. This is a unique collection that will be indispensable to all who wish to understand more about the new art in America.
