Bad New Days by Hal Foster
One of the world's leading art theorists dissects a quarter century of artistic practice
Foster's strength lies in his erudite attention to those artists that have emerged as definitive of their particular moment-- Mostafa Heddaya * Artinfo *
I find it refreshing to encounter a degree of intellectual rigour you don't find too often on my
side of the fence. -- Rowan Moore * Observer (in praise of The Art-Architecture Complex) *
The Art-Architecture Complex is a persistently insightful, elliptical account of an ambiguous symbiosis. -- Owen Hatherley (in praise of The Art-Architecture Complex)
The Art-Architecture Complex is a timely tome with an urgent message for anyone on the art or architecture axis. * Time Out (in praise of The Art-Architecture Complex) *
Elegant and incisive. * Boston Review (in praise of The Art-Architecture Complex) *
Brimming with ideas and analysis ... forceful, informed opinions. * Library Journal (In praise of The Art-Architecture Complex) *
Deft, opinionated . Foster is one of those rare art theorists whose measured prose can engage a wider readership, cutting through the philosophical inflationism that afflicts much of the higher gossip among art critics. * Guardian *
[Foster's] latest book, Bad New Days, attempts to recover the idea of an avant-garde after a hard half-century of infighting, obfuscation, rivalry, and successive failures to engage with the real world of politics. -- Mark Kingwell * Harper's Magazine *
