Review

The great strength of this landmark anthology is its inclusive strategy, which by dint of a simultaneous editorial economy has not resulted, thank heavens, in a monstrous tome. From Malek Alloula to Gil J. Wolman, the voices sampled here introduce the reader to artistic practices and theoretical concepts that anyone interested in appropriation ought to know.

(Anne M. Wagner, Class of 1936 Chair and Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art, University of California, Berkeley)
