Summary

"Examining abstract art since the 1960s within a narrative of infection, resistance, and cure provides the opportunity to rethink abstraction's appearances within and beyond its traditional frames of reference. The book links in new ways artists whose work extends and complicates the traditions of abstract art, including Yves Klein, Robert Rauschenberg, Lucio Fontana, James Turrell, Robert Smithson, Gerhard Richter, Christian Eckart, Olafur Eliasson, Peter Halley, Jessica Stockholder, Lydia Dona, General Idea, and Taras Polataiko."--BOOK JACKET.
