As an artist, and an actual participant in the movement, Richter understands dada from the inside-out; he "gets it" in a way that the art historian or art critic cannot. This book is a wonderful combination of autobiography, art theory, on-the-scene reportage, gossip column, and investigative reconstruction of the life and times of dada from someone who there--or near-there, or in… Read More

The chance of a full pardon does wonders for getting his attention. And don't mistake this mission of mercy for any kind of normal road trip-not… Read More
