Inside The White Cube - Annotated By Brian O'doherty (paperback)

Inside the White Cube is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the sociological, economic, and aesthetic context of art.

Brian O'Doherty's essays are as fresh and stimulating today as when they first appeared in Artforum in 1976.

With precision critical analysis and wit, he examines the complex relationship between economics, social context, and aesthetics in the contested space of the art gallery.

O'Doherty raises important questions about how artists must construe their work in relation to the gallery system, challenging the myth of neutrality of the gallery or museum space.

This edition includes "The Gallery as Gesture," a critically important piece published ten years after the others.

Inside the White Cube is essential reading for anyone interested in the history and issues of postwar art in Europe and the United States.

With an introduction by Thomas McEvilley and a brilliantly cogent afterword by its author, Brian O'Doherty, this book leads us on the perilous journey to center to the art world.

Don't miss out on this influential and oft-quoted statement of its time!
