4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous images, okay text, September 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mary Kelly (Contemporary Artists (Phaidon)) (Paperback)

Lots of great images and info about Mary Kelly's important but hard to find art. It's a pity the texts aren't better. The interviewer (Douglas Crimp) embarrassingly doesn't seem to know much about Kelly's work, and the critical takes aren't really new or deep.

Overall, the new Phaidon series is beautifully-produced, but not really up to the standards the series once set, when it published more significant critical work and scholarhsip. These feel like candies: quick reads, nice pix, but nothing too deep and certainly nothing critical.
