The bride and the bachelors

Description:

An excellent book from the 1960s that thoughtfully profiles Duchamp, Tinguely, Cage, Rauschenberg, and Merce Cunningham, from the longtim writer for *The New Yorker.* Still useful, neither fawning nor skeptical, it gives biographical profiles of all of the artists along with thoughtful, non-technical discussions of their work.
