John Baldessari : the Städel paintings.
"When in 1970 with his 'Cremation Project, ' Baldessari destroyed all the paintings he had done between 1953 and 1966, he opened the way for a new concept of the picture, one that mediates between the visual world of the mass media and the motific canon of art history. As one of the most important representatives of Concept and Media Art, he developed an unmistakable concept of the picture oscillating between painting and photography, between text and image."--Foreword
