- Summary
- "'A Mental Masquerade' gathers work by art critic Mary Josephson, most of it written between 1971 and 1973. Mary Josephson does not exist. She is one of the many alter egos of notorious artist and theorist Brian O'Doherty, looking to liberate himself from the constraints of malehood and the social constraints of the art world. Josephson was a brilliant observer, a witty and fearless writer. Her reviews shed a light on New York's art scene in the 1970s. This publication hopes to stimulate further research that might want to contextualize Mary Josephson within debates around notions such as gender, and authorship"--Page 2 of cover.
