Synopsis
For the past few decades Hal Foster's critical gaze has encompassed the increasingly complex machinery of the culture industry. His observations push the boundaries of cultural criticism to establish a vantage point from which the seemingly disparate agendas of artists, patrons, and critics have a telling coherence. The Anti-Aesthetic is a touchstone volume for postmodern debate and theory. Though the cultural stakes and terms have changed over the last decade, this collection still illuminates--perhaps now even more lucidly--a vital current in contemporary criticism. Contributors: Jean Baudrillard, Douglas Crimp, Kenneth Frampton, Jrgen Habermas, Fredric Jameson, Rosalind Krauss, Craig Owens, Edward Said, and Gregory Ulmer.

Review
A Best Book of the Year. -- Village Voice
The essays in this collection are theoretically sophisticated and they display a concrete grasp of contemporary art practice....It is probably the most useful, serious, and rewarding anthology of its kind; it should be read by anyone concerned with the practice and theory of contemporary art. -- Art in America
