Toward a Grammar of Abstraction by Robert Steiner

Toward a Grammar of Abstraction takes as its point of departure three features of modern art reading: the practice of translating the visual into institutional language, the vocabulary of representation in relation to abstract art, and the prevalence of totality as a model of art-historical knowledge.
