AR BOK F ROM

Hiding Mark C. Taylor The product of nearly three decades of reflection and writ-

ing, Hiding is Mark C. Taylor's most ambitious and radical book to date. Conceived with

designers Michael Rock and Susan Sellers, Hiding physically embodies the tendencies it ana-

lyzes, querying the very idea of the book itself.

Examining a wide range of cultural practices-from body piercing and fashion design to the "religious" architecture of Las Vegas and the limitless

spread of computer networks

-Taylor shows that postmod- ernism has given us a new sense of the superficial, one in which the issue is not the absence of meaning but its uncontrollable, ecstatic prolif- eration. Paper $29.95 256 pages 122 halftones

Religion and Postmodernism Series

Art and Objecthood Essays and Reviews Michael Fried This indispensable volume contains twenty-seven pieces of Fried's art criticism, including the text of his book Morris Louis, and the epoch-defining "Art and Objecthood." Fried has also provided a long intro- duction in which he clarifies his views on a broad array of issues and draws crucial dis- tinctions between his art criti- cism and the art history he went on to write. *Paper $20.00 352 pages 16 color plates, 72 halftones

Andy Warhol, Poetry, and Gossip in the 1960s Reva Wolf "Reva Wolf brings to light fig- ures such as Gerard Malanga, Ted Berrigan, Billy Name, Ed Sanders, and Taylor Mead. This highly original study, which focuses on those who were being influenced by, and, in some cases, those who appropriated ideas and words from others, makes a significant contribution to art history, literary studies, film studies, and the sociology of bohemian and sexual subcultures in the 1960s."-Mark Francis, Chief Curator, The Andy Warhol Museum *Paper $27.95 136 pages 4 color plates, 80 halftones

New in Paper

Artists, Advertising, and the Borders of Art Michele H. Bogart "Michele Bogart's book is original in

many respects .... She offers a close

reading of selected images, docu- mentation of the flux of history via a series of case studies, plus a useful clarification of the terminology and

concepts found in the discourse of artists, critics, and patrons." -John A. Walker, Art Monthly Paper $19.95 444 pages 93 halftones

Edouard Manet Rebel in a Frock Coat Beth Archer Brombert "Manet comes alive in [Brombert's] pages.... At times her biography reads like a substantial and detailed

19th-century novel.... Brombert's Edouard Manet gives us not only a

portrait of a complex artist but, in its

authority and its range, a portrait of an age as well."-James R. Mellow, New York Times Book Review, front page review Paper $19.95 528 pages 70 halftones
