Double Trouble-The Patchett Collection (2 volumes)

High and low, sweet and sour, this witty but challenging collection embraces the contradictions, paradoxes, and double entendres of contemporary culture. Since 1991 Tom Patchett has amassed an iconoclastic collection that includes the work of antitraditionalists like Marcel Duchamp and provocative contemporary artists such as Chris Burden. Double Trouble is a two-volume catalogue from the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, and the Auditorio de Galicia, Spain. Featuring more than 350 color reproductions with essays by curator Elizabeth Armstrong, Ralph Rugoff, and others.
