About this title

Review

"This is a clearly argued, original, and highly illuminating book that provides a genuinely new way of looking at contemporary art 'on the cusp, ' as the author puts it, between modernism and postmodernism. The decision to focus on the notion of collaboration has been used to open up a series of fascinating case studies associated with specific collaborative enterprises." --Stephen Bann, University of Bristol

As one of the artists Green discusses, I thought Yes, this is exactly how it happened. Readers will be inspired to know more about each of the collaborative artists included in this exceptional book. Marina Abramovic
