Robert Heinecken and the art of appropriation

Uittreksel

"From the 1960s through the late 1990s, Robert Heinecken's controversial art continually challenged inherited ideas around consumerism, the facticity of reportage, and visual culture's relationship to gender and identity politics. Author Matthew Biro presents an exhaustive look at Heinecken's life and art in the first book-length study dedicated to the artist."-- Provided by publisher.
