Materializing "Six Years": Lucy R. Lippard and the Emergence of Conceptual Art
Materializing "Six Years"examines a pivotal figure and dives deeply into the subtext (even the subconscious) of a canonical object we think we know. Yet it should be said thatMaterializing, too, suffers from not knowing quite what it is. Where the older book was sprawling and unwieldy,Materializingattempts to tidy up, with awkward results. The result is that the originalSix Yearsis both expanded (privileging new elements) and reduced (because so much had to be left out).      —Johanna Burton
