An updated edition of the first - and still most authoritative -
book on the legendary American iconoclast Twenty years ago, Phaidon
published what has become the definitive study of Arkansas-born
Jimmie Durham's career. This highly anticipated new edition brings
this important book up to date, tracing his remarkable life from
his experiences in the US, Mexico, and Europe - including his early
involvement with the American Indian Movement - to his most recent
output. It presents a full assessment of his sculptures,
performances, wall-based collages, and ersatz ethnographic
displays, that deliver ironic assaults on the colonizing procedures
of Western culture.

Examines both the art-historical framework of Tomma Abts's painting
as well as its deep philosophical and psychological dimensions With
a rigorous approach and self-imposed limitations to both scale and
composition, Tomma Abts (b. 1967) has reinvigorated painterly
abstraction and its relevance within contemporary art. Using a
fixed canvas size and a vertical format, Abts deploys basic formal
elements such as arcs, circles, planes, and stripes to create
powerful works that are at once subtle and eccentric. This
extraordinary book, designed in collaboration with the artist
herself, is a substantial and deeply insightful treatment of her
career to date and features sixty works made over the past decade.
Essays not only contextualize Abts's work within an art-historical
framework of methods, process, and style, but also examine her
paintings' philosophical and psychological dimensions and their
embodiment of a creative process that transcends the specifics of
any particular work. Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago
