Reviews"Seeing is Forgetting may not be just the best biography of an artist out there but also one of the best books on contemporary art-making."--Frieze, "Seeing is Forgetting may not be just the best biography of an artist out there but also one of the best books on contemporary art-making."-- Frieze, Seeing is Forgetting may not be just the best biography of an artist out there but also one of the best books on contemporary art-making., _Irwin is one of the great artists and artistic innovators of our day. He is also one of the most eloquent. And he was fortunate enough to find his Boswell. Back in the 18th century, pioneering biographer James Boswell preserved writer Samuel Johnson_s marvelous style of conversation. And while we have many other means now of preserving someone_s words, Irwin_s acquire a special life in Lawrence Weschler_s magnetic (now expanded) biography._

SynopsisWhen this book first appeared in 1982, it introduced readers to Robert Irwin, the Los Angeles artist "who one day got hooked on his own curiosity and decided to live it." Now expanded to include six additional chapters and twenty-four pages of color plates, Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees chronicles three decades of conversation between Lawrence Weschler and light and space master Irwin. It surveys many of Irwin's site-conditioned projects--in particular the Central Gardens at the Getty Museum (the subject of an epic battle with the site's principal architect, Richard Meier) and the design that transformed an abandoned Hudson Valley factory into Dia's new Beacon campus--enhancing what many had already considered the best book ever on an artist.
