Summary:
This book presents the artistic avant-gardes of the last five decades as a tapestry of incidents as fascinating and unlikely as any collection of myths or legends. Thinking more of Kafka's ''Parables'' than Vasari's ''Lives of the Artists,'' Rubinstein composes a series of micro-narratives celebrating the mystery and ingeniousness of these human activities which, for lack of a better term, we call ''contemporary art.'' Each of the fifty episodes in ''The Miraculous'' is a detailed telling of the circumstances surrounding a single work of art; only the name of the artist is withheld until the end of the book.
