books from library

theory:

arthur c. danto's: after the end of art; contemporary art and the pale of history
& unnatural wonders: essays from the gap betwen art & life

(think i may need to own the dantos down the road)

new art city:manhatten at mid century (jed perl)

the contigent object of contemporary art (martha buskirk)

sometimes you just need to look at nice picture books (since theory/criticisms do not fall under the "fun" catagory)
so:
contemporary women artists (wendy beckett 1988)
thinking of you (barbara kruger)
local color: the di rosa collection of contemporary california art
art:21 art in the twenty-first century
basquiat (brooklyn museum)
