Clement Greenberg's Modernism and the Bureaucratization of the Senses
"Although Clement Greenberg's criticism has inspired and provoked for more than a half-century, how Greenberg developed his critical model has never been adequately explained. In this sociohistorical examination of opticality, Caroline Jones contributes significantly to our understanding of the critic's formation. Her book is the most ambitious account of Greenberg's project to date." - James Meyer, author of Minimalism: Art and Polemics in the Sixties"
