Description

From the publisher: "For nearly five decades John Baldessari has challenged our ways of viewing art, images, and text. This lavish and comprehensive volume is the catalogue for an internationally touring retrospective of his work. With nearly 250 illustrations and a wide range of insightful essays, it's the 'must have'ù book on a legendary California artist who is also one of the most influential figures in contemporary art."
