These writings address everything from matters of color in sculpture, to the dilemmas of art students in need of ideas, to the art world’s ever-conflicted relationship with money, while always returning to Baldessari’s love of language and his longstanding investigation into the tensions of word and image. With numerous never-before-published texts and facsimiles of original documents, this long-anticipated collection will prove essential reading for anyone involved in contemporary art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JRP Ringier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044638703856,"sku":"9783037641927","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783037641927_p0.jpg?v=1763712263","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783037641927","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
