Published by the prestigious Cologne gallery Michael Werner, this volume chronicles Salle's extraordinary ability to layer disparate, seemingly unrelated images into compositions that disturb, seduce, and challenge the viewer in equal measure, capturing a body of work that defined an era of radical artistic experimentation.\n\nAuthored by Wilfried Dickhoff — a sharp and incisive critic deeply embedded in the European avant-garde — the text argues for Salle's central importance to the discourse of appropriation, desire, and cultural fragmentation that dominated late twentieth-century art theory. Dickhoff's prose mirrors the density and ambition of Salle's canvases, weaving together aesthetic analysis and philosophical provocation. For collectors, scholars, and admirers of contemporary art, this rare 1989 publication remains an essential artefact — raising questions about meaning, authorship, and the image that are as urgent today as when the paint first dried.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49276132819163,"sku":"2026100009290-SECONDHAND","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e84235db-47b2-4f12-bb38-b45c2c2f3a9e.png?v=1789092709","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009290-secondhand-david-salle","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
