David Ulin, Los Angeles Times Book Review Weschler has charted [Robert Irwin's] journey with exceptional clarity and cogency. He has also, in the process, provided what seems to me the best running history of postwar West Coast art that I have yet seen. Calvin Tomkins on SEEING IS FORGETTING THE NAME OF THE THING ONE SEES
