Review
"Alison Pearlman''s account of New York art in the 1980s is a greatly overdue corrective to the dominant paradigms of critical postmodernism, releasing the debate on this pivotal era from a ''state of suspended cartoon animation''... Pearlman''s book is crucial reading for anyone interested in American art and compulsory for anyone who has failed to comprehend the seismic shift in art''s culture that has triumphed in the past 25 years."--Neil Mulholland, The Art Book (The Art Book ) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description
American art of the 1980s is as misunderstood as it is notorious. Critics of the time feared that market hype and self-promotion threatened the integrity of art. They lashed out at contemporary art, questioning the validity of particular media and methods and dividing the art into opposing camps. While controversies have since subsided, critics still view art of the 1980s as a stylistic battlefield. Alison Pearlman rejects this picture, which is truer of the period's criticism than of its art.
