Four Honest Outlaws
Sala, Ray, Marioni, Gordon
Michael Fried
In this characteristically original book, Michael Fried
considers the work of four contemporary artists—video
artist and photographer Anri Sala, sculptor Charles Ray,
painter Joseph Marioni and video artist and intervener in
movies Douglas Gordon. He shows how their respective
projects are best understood as engaging in a variety of
ways with some of the core themes and issues associated
with high modernism, and indeed with its prehistory in
French painting and art criticism from Diderot on.

Donald Judd
David Raskin
This pioneering book addresses the whole
breadth of Judd’s practices. Drawing on
documents found in nearly twenty
archives, David Raskin explains why
some of Judd’s works of art seem
startlingly ephemeral while others remain
insistently physical. In the process of
answering this question, Raskin traces
Judd’s principles from his beginnings as
an art critic to his fabulous installations
and designs in Marfa, Texas.
