Editorial Reviews

  • “Lippard skillfully shows the ‘primal urge’ is a core issue in ‘post-modernist’ art … it is invaluable as an insider’s synthesis capturing the consciousness of vanguard art in the recent past.”
    — Village Voice

  • “Lucy Lippard has skillfully blended sun, moon, myth, and ritual in a search for the meaning and social function of art.”
  • — Gerald Hawkins, author of Stonehenge Decoded and Mindsteps to the Cosmos

  • “The book’s strength lies in the depth of the author’s commitment–her dual loyalty to tradition and modernity and her effort to restore the broken connection between the two.”
    — New York Times Book Review
