capítulo por capítulo baixar The Paul McCarthy Reader: Recovery As The Last Gate (1992–2026)

For more than five decades, Paul McCarthy has been one of the most influential, provocative, and difficult-to-classify figures in contemporary art.

The Paul McCarthy Reader brings together McCarthy’s own statements on art, art history, artists, performance, painting, video, sculpture, architecture, the body, Los Angeles, Hollywood, Disney, popular culture, politics, institutions, the art world, and the development of his work.

Drawn from interviews, conversations, lectures, films, exhibition programs, and published texts, the volume allows McCarthy’s thinking to unfold in his own words across decades. Rather than explaining the artist from the outside, the Reader presents a documentary record of how he has described his influences, methods, materials, historical relationships, recurring concerns, and changing ideas about what art can be.

Organized thematically, the book traces both continuities and contradictions in McCarthy’s thinking: his relationship to painting and performance, his engagement with artistic genealogy, his distance from certain art-historical categories, and his sustained interest in culture, power, representation, the body, and the conditions under which art is produced and understood.

At once a primary-source anthology, an intellectual portrait, and a documentary history of an artistic practice, The Paul McCarthy Reader offers readers, artists, students, scholars, and anyone interested in contemporary art direct access to McCarthy’s own account of his work and the world around it.
