Focal Points
£59.97
The new complete series Focal Points by leading American art critic and curator Robert Storr and edited by art historian and curator Francesca Pietropaolo.
The series represents Storr's diverse range of independent subjects: Volume 1, Bruce Nauman, Volume 2, Ad Reinhardt, and a topical book on Storr's experience working as a curator while living in Brooklyn, New York: Volume 3, Between a Rock and a Hard Place.
Brilliantly scholarly, accessible and engaging, Focal Points offers fresh interpretations of the varied territory of modern and contemporary art, following the critical success of Storr's Writings on Art and Interviews on Art.
To coincide with the publication of the first three volumes, a new film has been released by HENI Talks, featuring Robert Storr, in conversation with Norwich-based art writer and editor Aimee Dawson. Discussing all three volumes, sharing his illuminating insights, the author discusses the artist-critic relationship, the commitment not to rewrite the back catalogue and to a continually evolving point of view in "the spirit of a staircase". Watch the interview here.
