Reviews for Concerning Consequences: Studies in Art, Destruction, and Trauma
An incredibly ambitious book by one of the world's preeminent art historians. Stiles's work is theoretically sophisticated; the detail through which she speaks is clear evidence of years spent with living artists and archives; and her style and argumentation are accessible, fluid, and engaging. Concerning Consequences asserts the importance of seeing artists on their own terms.
