Talking Art: Interviews with Artists Since 1976

The interview has become a quintessentially twentieth-century form
of historical narrative, writes co-editor Patricia Bickers in this rich
collection of interviews with artists from the British magazine Art
Monthly. From the interview with constructivist Naum Gabo, done just
a few months before his death, this weighty volume (without
illustrations) includes more than 60 influential artists of the last
quarter of the twentieth century. The importance of the artists is
unmistakable, including Frank Stella, David Hockney, Robert
Motherwell, Jasper Johns, Barbara Kruger, Brice Marden, Gilbert &
George, George Segal, Richard Serra, Claes Oldenburg, Sol LeWitt
and John Baldessari. With an outstanding index of artists and others
cited by the interviewees.
