Uncontrollable Beauty: Toward a New Aesthetics | 
Edited by Bill Beckley with David Shapiro. Now in paperback! In this acclaimed art anthology, a prestigious group of artists, critics, and literati offer their incisive reflections on the questions of beauty--past, present, and future--and how it has become a domain of multiple perspectives. Here is Meyer Schapiro's skeptical argument on perfection . . . contributions from artists as profound as Louise Bourgeois and Agnes Martin . . . and reflections of critics, curators, and philosophers on the problems of beauty and relativism. Readers will find fascinating insights from such art theorists and critics as Dave Hickey, Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe, Donald Kuspit, Carter Ratcliff, and dozens more. For all art lovers, this is an unmatched and essential resource. Many of the writings offer beauty a fresh face, casting it as a healing, personal, unpredictable, ungovernable experience. --The New York Times. 6 x 9, 448 pages; Paperback edition, ISBN 1-58115-196-9.
