Rich Texts: Selected Writing for Art

Compiled for the first time here, the critic, artist, gallerist, dealer, translator John Kelsey's selected essays convey some of the most poignant challenges in the art world. These texts play the double role of explaining the art world and actively participating in it; they close the distance between the work of art and how we talk about it. The essays compiled in the book, were originally published in Artforum, Texte zur Kunst, Parkett, and various artists' catalogues.
