Tate Papers no.23 Spring 2015

This issue includes papers on the influence of art and ideas from Asia, and the critical potential of performance art at times of political anxiety. Other topics include the conservation of a vandalised Mark Rothko painting, twentieth-century British art and visual experience, and Jay DeFeo's 'hybrid abstraction'.
