an object to be preserved
21 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
Gordon Matta-Clark is one of those artists largely understood lightly, if at all, partially because of the lack of coverage of his work in most of art history. Lee's book goes a long way toward building a scholarship of G.M-C's work, especially in terms of its conceptual and analytical underpinnings.
When seen in conjunction with P.S. 1's retrospective of his drawings in 1998, and the recent republication of the only big monograph, G.M-C seems poised to be included in newer histories of art, which does a great service to everyone.
I read a good chunk of this book flying from JFK to SFO, and I found it to be well-written, cogent, and compelling as a document of G.M-C's work. I came away inspired. Hopefully his films will be the next portion of his oeuvre to be rereleased.

Great Artist. Nearly Great Book.
24 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover
This book is about all there is on this guy. Kudos to Pamela Lee for sticking her neck out and getting a book out on him. It's WAY overdue. At times the analogies and stuff are a bit tiring... though maybe I mowed through it in too much of one sitting.
This guy cut up buildings and would jack parts of them up with foundation jacks for chrissakes. Damien Hirst on steriods 20 years early.
