the long version

"Discrepant Abstraction is hybrid and partial, elusive and repetitive, obstinate and strange; it includes almost everything that does not neatly fit into the institutional narrative of abstract art as a monolithic quest for artistic 'purity'.

Discrepant Abstraction is the second volume in the Annotating Art's Histories series."--Jacket.
