Baule: African Art, Western Eyes
Paper, 312 pp., 140 color illus.
Catalogue for the exhibition, organized by Susan M. Vogel, presented at the Yale University Art Gallery (August 30, 1997–January 4, 1998); the Art Institute of Chicago; and the Museum for African Art, New York, with text and field photographs by Vogel.
An expansive, searching survey of the art and daily life of one of the largest ethnic groups of the Ivory Coast, this book challenges the manner in which African art is generally presented in Western museums. In recognition of the fact that the Baule do not categorize objects as “art,” Vogel interviews villagers about their use and meaning. “Artworks matter not for what they are as created forms,” she writes, “but for what they do.”

Mel Bochner: Thought Made Visible, 1966–1973
Paper, 318 pp., 141 black-and-white illus.
Catalogue for the exhibition, organized by Richard S. Field, presented at the Yale University Art Gallery (October 14–December 31, 1995); La Société des Expositions du Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels (March 1–May 12, 1996); Städitsche Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich (June 26–September 8, 1996), with essays by Field, Bruce Boice, Yve-Alain Bois, Rosalid E. Kraus, Frederik Leen, James Meyer, Sasha M. Newman, Robert Pincus-Witten, Jessica Prinz, Ulrich Wilmes, and William S. Wilson.
One of conceptual art’s most influential and challenging practitioners, Bochner turns everyday language and symbolic systems against themselves. The artist was deeply involved with this exhibition of his work from a pivotal seven-year period in his career. In the amply illustrated catalogue, Field reviews Bochner’s philosophical and artistic development during this period, while the other texts explore noteworthy projects from various perspectives: Bois addresses the “Measurement Pieces” of 1969, Krauss dissects his Theory of Painting (1970), and Pincus-Witten discusses a 1971 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art.
