Howard Singerman, “Art History, After Sherrie Levine” (UC Press; 304 pp; $65)
University of Virginia art historian (and former MOCA editor) Howard Singerman writes the first full monograph about Sherrie Levine, whose 1980s photographs of Walker Evans’ famous photographs of Great Depression-era subjects stood traditional notions of originality on their head.
Can poverty characterize ideas as well as people? Levine’s photographs ‘after Evans’ raised questions about art history ‘after Levine.’
