More about the book
Focusing on the evolution of abstraction since the 1960s, the author presents a transformative perspective that challenges traditional formalist views. By framing abstract art within themes of infection, resistance, and cure, the narrative invites a reevaluation of key genres like the monochrome and the mirror. It connects the works of influential artists, such as Yves Klein and Robert Rauschenberg, highlighting how their contributions extend and complicate the legacy of abstract art.
