Description
Open Questions is an illustrated reader featuring a collection of essays from trailblazing curator and writer Helen Molesworth, marking the first book of her collected writings.
Over the past three decades, Helen Molesworth's singular voice and lively curatorial vision have established her as one of the most dynamic and influential figures in the art world. This generously illustrated reader, the first ever collection of her writings, presents 24 essays from the past 30 years. These have been gathered from exhibition catalogues and art publications such as Artforum, Documents, frieze, and October.
The volume opens with a new essay that outlines Molesworth's belief in art's unique capacity for merging knowledge and feeling. It also includes new critical and reflective commentary on her past writing, an innovative approach that will position Open Questions as an indispensable volume for viewing and thinking about contemporary art for generations to come.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Art in America praises Molesworth as "a rare breed: a curator who can actually write" and calls the book "influential." Vogue describes it as "the fierce culmination of a career forged on [her] own terms." Other sources highlight the collection as "captivating" (The Slowdown) and note its rich personal insight into Molesworth herself (artnet), with Sullivan+Strumpf asserting "Molesworth is at her finest."
