Artists including John Baldessari, Tauba Auerbach, Martin Kippenberger and Hans-Peter Feldman participate in this visually overwhelming and detailed examination of the cultural and emotional signficance of books. A large shelf on the back of the wall includes a selection of After Dark books authored under the name of Richard Prince’s New York project Fulton Ryder.
