On The Painted Word
This article is a reprint of Rosalind Krauss's 1975 review of Tom Wolfe's "The Painted Word," published in Partisan Review. The review critically examines Wolfe's polemical attack on modern art, its creators, critics, and patrons. Krauss argues that Wolfe's fundamental thesis-that modern art is empty of intrinsic content and functions merely as a social exchange medium validated by obscure critical theory-stems from his professed inability to exp…
Sculpture Is a Verb
Rosalind Krauss analyzes aspects of Richard Serra's oeuvre, and Clement Greenberg's opposition to it, by way of a discussion of several of his sculptures, particularly One Ton Prop (House of Cards), as well as Verb List, locating the essence of Serra's work in that of the medium of sculpture itself: contrapposto. The article begins: "My flight from the house of Greenberg (Judd called us "Greenbergers") began with Richard Serra: In conversation, C…
The Madness of the Gaze
In his seminar "The Eye and the Gaze," Jacques Lacan is forced to regard the problem of the unconscious through the grid of the Cartesian cogito. In the certainty of "I think, therefore I am," which expresses the complete transparency of the self to its own apprehension, leaves no space for the ineffability of the unconscious. Lacan sees this proto-enlightenment certainty running through all perceptual mechanisms, as in Paul Valèry's poem "La Jeu…

Montage October
In "Montage October," which appeared in Artforum in January 1973, Rosalind Krauss argues that Sergei Eisenstein's 1928 film was not only a celebration of a Marxist victory but also a demonstration of Marxist dialectical reasoning through montage. Krauss contends that rather than passively reconstructing the chain of circumstances that culminated in the storming of the Winter Palace in 1917, Eisenstein hoped to draw a filmic equivalence between th…
