What Nerve!: Alternative Figures in American Art, 1960 to the Present Paperback – September 30, 2014

"Trade paperback" does not do this book justice. It weighs 47 ounces, one ounce short of 3 pounds, with 368 pages. The plates are sized to FILL the pages. Progressive advances in printing technology make these plates better than even those of ten years ago. The gamut, saturation, and dot pitch are state of the art. The separations are perfectly registered. The very inks are more vivid, applied to heavily sized paper similar to Bristol. I find myself nearly as satisfied as visiting the actual exhibitions. possibly more so, because no museum guard is stopping me from putting my nose to the plates.If you haven't tried an art book lately, this is the one to try.

Really top notch reproductions. Mostly not available online. Especially not in this quality.

This is the best art book of the year -- a revival and appreciation of alternative strategies in picture-making from the mid-60s.

Really great catalog of work. A nice keepsake after seeing the show at Matthew Mark's Gallery in NYC.

I'm an artist looking for more funky, humorous, figurative artists. This is what I was looking for.

Gorgeously printed book - USPS shipping was criminally slow

great book that I love .

Super fast! Great copy!
