A gem brought back into print, Sketchbook with Voices puts a postmodern spin on the classic artist's journal. Gleaned from a series of interviews between the authors and artists, this sketchbook is packed with assignments and points of entry that encourage exploration. Art and design enthusiasts will be enamored of the roster of 60 of today's leading voices in contemporary artâ€”including John Baldessari, Chuck Close, Barbara Kruger, Richard Serra, and Cindy Sherman.
