Brian O'Doherty/Patrick Ireland: Word, Image and Institutional Critique (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789492095244)

This volume assembles fresh perspectives on the seminal work of New York-based Brian O'Doherty (born 1928) and his alter ego Patrick Ireland: his visual art practice, art criticism, institutional leadership and critique, media work and literary writing.

The contributing authors (including Alexander Alberro, Hans Belting, Lucy Cotter, Patricia Falgui res and Thomas McEvilley, among others) provide new ideas on O'Doherty's versatile oeuvre. O'Doherty's role in conceptual art and minimalism in New York is as much a theme of this volume as his seminal critique of the modernist "white cube" gallery space, his art-historical ventures and Irish origins.
