Publisher's Note Overlay is Lucy Lippard's classic book on contemporary art and its connection to prehistoric sites and symbols. Viewed by critics, artists, art historians, and students as the essential text on how prehistoric images have been "overlayed" onto contemporary art by today's artists, Overlay is for anyone interested in the possibility of reintegrating art into the fabric of society as a whole, as in prehistoric times.
Industry Reviews "Overlay synthesizes [Lippard's] journey, [it] provides further evidence of her protean energy, extraordinary intellectual curiosity, and enormous range of interests, while revealing the strengths and limitations of her critical methods. At the same time, it demonstrates how a primitivizing strain cuts a deep swath through art developments of the last twenty years." Village Voice - Barbara Braun (05/31/1983)
