Visionary Artist
I can't tell you how many times I've looked at this incredible catalog of the world's greatest living artist!

The Most Beautiful Artist Book/Monograph I've Ever Seen
This book is so well done … from the linen hardcover, to the perfect representations of Conner's works, to the immaculate printing … even the essays and commentary throughout the book are great! Anyone interested in Bruce Conner … this is the best publication on him and his work so far. Also, anyone interested Assemblage, Collage, American Film, or the Avant-Garde in general … I would highly, highly recommend looking at Bruce Conner's work … this book is the best place for that ( … outside of looking at actual work itself … of course … !). In my opinion, Bruce Conner is one of the most important artists of the whole »Beat Generation« era … and I feel that his films are among the very best of all Avant-Garde film. Please see for yourself, and please try to look at his actual work (by that I mean to physically go see some of the Assemblages, Collages, and try to get ahold/go see a few of his films)! The book is great, one of the best I've seen of all art books, but viewing art in books should always be ancillary to viewing art 'in the flesh'.

A Review: One man show and tell
This beautiful publication makes you feel fortunate to live in an era when hardbound books filled with juicy pictures printed on quality paper stock are still here for the wonder of our minds and hands. For some reason the multifaceted brilliant artist Bruce Conner is not very well known outside rarefied circles of experimental film-o-philes or assemblage art fans, and this book should go a long way to correct such an egregious oversight. The essays are substantive, intelligent, and lure readers into discoveries about the works of this compelling character, and the design of the book is a joy, filled with many cinematic touches and liberally sprinkled with gorgeous color reproductions. Highly recommended.
