Review
Providing a varied and extensive collection of texts by and about Nauman's work, this anthology opens many doors into reading the layers upon layers of this artist's ironic tragi-comedies... With its focus on Nauman from so many perspectives and its concentration on his performance and new media aspects, this book provides meaningful and extensive resources for both admirers and scholars... In the end, it sets a bountiful theoretical, historical, aesthetic, ethical, and critical context for responding to Nauman's productions.

3.0 out of 5 stars
I expected prictures, instead the book is 99% interviews,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bruce Nauman (PAJ Books: Art + Performance) (Paperback)
Bruce Nauman is the most amazing artist I have ever seen.I was not much into moder art, until I saw Clown Torture and From Hand to Mouth at the Tate Modern in London. Since then I am a looking for his work whetherever I can find it. I felt a bit let down by this book because I expected reproductions of his work instead it is almost exclusively made up by interviews with him or short articles written by him. There might be 10 pages of reproduction in the whole book. Some of his neon work. In particular there is no reproduction of Clown Torture in the whole book, inspite of the fact that the head of the clown is on the cover. I think the book could be great if you are a scolar, or (for wathever reason) want to read what he says about his work, but it is not very good if you want to see reproductions.
