Note

Edition of 1,500.
This new collection of writing marks thirty years for the critic and curator Bob Nickas, widely considered one of the few independent voices, and willful misfits, still at work today. Fifty essays and interviews, written since 2007, are spread across five chapters: Lost & Found, NYC, Repetition and the Politics of Time, Out of the Blue and Into the Black, and Supply & Demand. Nickas introduces and reintroduces us to artists from the '60s, to the '80s, to those working today - Jack Smith, Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, and On Kawara, Isa Genzken, Steven Parrino, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kara Walker, Wolfgang Tillmans, Kelley Walker, and Pierre Huyghe. Writing as if they passing us by in real time, often in the streets of New York, he traces the disappearance of artists and the city over three decades. As a way to keep the past engaged with the present, his writing is always issued from his fictional Dept. of Corrections." -- Back cover.
