Parachute : The Anthology : 1975 - 2000 : Vol. I

''Gathering together eight seminal essayes, by Bruce Alistaire Barber, Thomas Crow, Hal Foster , Reesa Greenberg, Serge Guilbaut, Hans Haacke, Jean-François Lyotard, and René Payant, this first volume of Parachute : The Anthology (1975 - 2000) addresses the state and function of art history, criticism, and theory in their own particular moment. An introduction by Alexander Alberro and Nora M. Alter considers the history of this unconventional and theoretically cutting-edge magazine - bridging theory between Europe and the America at a time when these were still very distinct worlds - and how this anthology constitutes and invaluable document of the changes in both art practice and writing from 1975 to 2000.''-- p.
