The Gothic

Description

Anthologie bevat bijdragen over Gothic Art en de invloed en betekenis van gothic in de moderne cultuur. - This collection of writings examines the pervasive and influential role of "the Gothic" in contemporary visual culture.

This reader brings together artists as different as Matthew Barney, Gregor Schneider, Louise Bourgeois, and Douglas Gordon
