Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, November 5, 1993 - February 20, 1994. Traveled to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, June 30 - August 11, 1994; and Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden, in the Fall of 1994. Mike Kelley has the reputation of producing some nasty [read "good but twisted"] artworks. Proves the work to be worthy of not simply a retrospective, but action packed essays, serious consideration and repute worthy of a further examination. Still, by far, the best book on the artist.

Fox, Diedrich Diederichsen, Jutta Koether, Martin Prinzhorn, Paul Schimmel, and John G. Hanhardt. Catalogue designed by Lorraine Wild and ReVerb. Includes bibliography and artist's exhibition history.
