With an extended chronology by Whitney curator Marla Prather that traces the influences and artistic trajectory of Samaras's life: an essay by Donald Kuspil that provides an in-depth analysis of Samaras's self-portraiture a full-color plate section; and an extensive bibliography and index, this volume is an essential guide to the life and work of an exceptionally challenging and complex artist."--BOOK JACKET
