Summary:

"In this detailed examination of Kunsthalle Bern, 1992, Anne Rorimer considers the work in the context of Asher's ongoing desire to fuse art with the material, economic and social conditions of institutional presentation. Rorimer analyses the work in relation to earlier Minimalist artists like Dan Flavin and Conceptualists such as Marcel Broodthaers, Daniel Burren and Maria Nordman. She also considers how Asher's practice has resonated with a younger generation including Fred Wilson, Andrea Fraser and Maria Eichhorn"--Page 4 of cover
