Alfredo Jaar

“It is rare that an artist whose work is deeply committed to socio-political issues receives detailed attention to that element rather than glancing references to alert the viewer. Alfredo Jaar is not only a globally important visual artist but a savvy and brilliant commentator/participant in the content at the heart of his work. In this book—as potentially ground-breaking as Jaar’s art—Florencia San MartÍn offers a dense, detailed, and intelligent analysis of the art and its crucial political contexts, opening up Jaar’s visual oeuvre to its real significance in and beyond the world of art.”—Lucy R. Lippard, writer, art critic, activist, and curator
