Description

When Charles Harrison died in 2009, the British art world lost a pivotal figure. Fromcurating the groundbreaking 1969 exhibit, ''When Attitudes Become Form'' at London's Institute ofContemporary Art; to co-writing the hyper-influential, three-volume work Art in Theory; toteaching art history to thousands in much-admired ''plain English'': Harrison's influence on theBritish art scene cannot be overestimated.This collection of autobiographical interviews - a fitting tribute to Harrison - opens a windowinto the thinking of the tireless critic and riveting professor who railed against second-rate art withhis trademark motto, ''Better fewer, but better.'' Looking Back offers an unprecedented opportunity to experience one of the art world giantsof our time.Interviews with Jo Melvin, Teresa Gleadow, Pablo Lafuente, Juliette Rizzi, Sophie Richard,Elena Crippa, Christopher Huer and Matthew Jesse Jackson.
