Klappentext

Bruce Nauman's work surveyed by the former Museum of Modern Art curator who organized his major 1995 retrospective

American artist Bruce Nauman (born 1941) has worked across a wide range of mediums including neon, sculpture, video, installation, performance and drawing to pursue his question of what it means to create art. Edited by art historian Francesca Pietropaolo, this book brings together for the first time a selection of essays and articles on Nauman by the eminent art critic, art historian and curator Robert Storr. The first volume of Storr's Focal Points series, featuring introductory essays by Storr and Pietropaolo, this richly illustrated book gathers six texts on Nauman previously published in the art journals Parkett (1986), Modern Painters (2009) and Art Press (2009 and 2016), and in the exhibition catalogs Bruce Nauman (1994) and A Rose Has No Teeth (2007).
Robert Storr (born 1949) formerly served as Senior Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York from 1990 to 2002, where he curated a seminal retrospective exhibition on Bruce Nauman in 1995. He is currently Dean Emeritus and Professor Emeritus of Art at the Yale University School of Art.
