Laurie Anderson

Summary: A Brilliant career retrospective
Review: This is probably the best, most comprehensive look I have ever seen of the body of work Laurie Anderson has created over her career. Goldberg has done a wonderful job of presenting the art, lyrics, prose and thoughts of Laurie Anderson. A must for any true fan!

Summary: Monograph template
Review: Wow. This sumptuously illustrated monograph has redefined the manner in which monographs will probably be executed in the twenty-first century. How fitting that RoseLee Goldberg, who penned and organized the equally breath-taking "Performance: Live Art Since 1960," has joined forces with maverick Laurie Anderson.

Ms. Goldberg not only unravelled the complexity of Laurie Anderson's works, but did so without jargonizing. She, instead, chose wisely to tell Laurie's story through pictures with extended captions. She was spare with her words--something few art historians can claim to do.

On that note, I better stop writing, myself....
