Theft Is Vision

"Gathering essays and interviews from 1995 to today, this book offers both an insight into Nickas' vision of contemporary art and a portrait of the American art scene over the last few decades. Structured like a novel, this publication traces recent art production to Pop and appropriation art; reflects on the importance of Warhol, On Kawara, and Punk in contemporary culture; and pays homage to overlooked figures such as Cady Noland, Jamie Reid, and Steven Parrino."--BOOK JACKET.
