Editorial Reviews
Carter Ratcliff, Art in America
"Anne Hollander's Seeing Through Clothes pushes erudition to the point of originality. The thoroughness with which she examines Western art and clothes has precipitated a new subject: how painting, sculpture and photography mediate between bodily ideals and what we wear. Other writers have touched on these relationships, but only Hollander has accumulated enough in the way of evidence and commentary to elevate the clothes-art-body interchange to the status of an independent subject."

Walter Clemons, Newsweek
"[Hollander's] extraordinary book radically alters the way we see."
