Search for New Artists. Charles Biederman, 1979 [Signed]

Sale Price:£15.00 Original Price:£40.00
Sold

Signed and dedicated by Charles Biederman to Alastair Grieve and dated 1981.

“Biederman apparently presents his thesis for just one reason-to justify the claim that his own work is the new art. To do this the author takes on massive and, in this case, unresolvable philosophic and semantic problems. This might not be so bad in itself had Biederman not chosen as well to provide an extravagantly distorted and biased interpretation of modern art history. The introduction offers the first alarm: a flat-out statement that European art and civilization entered into collapse somewhere in the mid-19th century. It has been downhill ever since.” Reviewed by Henry P. Raleigh, Leonardo, The MIT Press, Volume 16, Number 4, Autumn 1983.
