The purpose of this volume is to bring together some of the best recent critical essays on the new art in the United States. Most of these articles date from after 1960, and were originally published in museum catalogues and periodicals. But in keeping with the new role of the critic as interpreter, the pieces included in this anthology do more than simply describe, or even define their subject; their authors are actively and consciously engaged in the preparation of a new aesthetic. This is a unique collection that will be indispensable to all who wish to understand more about the new art in America." -- from book's back cover.
