"Since the 1979 publication of 'The Writings of Robert Smithson,' Robert Smithson's significance as a spokesman for a generation of artists has been widely acknowledged and the importance of his thinking to contemporary artists and art critics continues to grow. This copiously illustrated, revised and expanded edition includes a new introduction by Jack Flam, hard-to-find articles, and previously unpublished essays, interviews, and poems. Together these reveal Robert Smithson's unique way of writing and speaking and vividly convey his highly original, wide-ranging thoughts on art and culture." [publisher copy] "Smithson read widely and used that reading to create a style of criticism that is unique and deeply personal. 'One must remember,' he says, 'that writing on art replaces presence by absence by substituting the abstraction of language for the real thing.' His own vivid and very beautiful prose often provides some equivalent for that presence."--Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism. "An argument could be made that Robert Smithson is at least as important as a thinker and critic as he is an artist, and in the art history of the 70s, his words are certain to be returned to and returned to. He is one of those figures whose thought at once defines and transcends his own time."--Arthur C. Danto. "The perfect book for someone who is interested in space, time, systems, engineering, and the nitty-gritty of life as an artist in the 20th century."--Publishers Weekly. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.…
