Summary:

This collection seeks to restore art critic and theorist Jack Burnham to his rightful place in art criticism and theory, reestablishing his voice as crucial to critical conversations of the period. It gathers his early writing on sculpture, his essays on systems art and conceptualism, his views of the New York art world, and his later occult work -- including an unorthodox interpretation of Marcel Duchamp's work that draws on the Kabbalah.--Publisher's description.
