Spanning more than four decades of Yve-Alain Bois's work as a scholar, journal editor, and occasional curator, this volume traces a deeply personal itinerary through an important era of art history, in which the discipline--in part occasioned by Bois's own journey from France to the United States--was significantly reformulated by new methodologies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDetailing Bois's early relationships with figures such as Roland Barthes, Hubert Damisch, Lygia Clark, and Jacques Derrida, as well as his extended engagements with Rosalind Krauss, Ellsworth Kelly, and Martin Barré, these essays track Bois's intellectual commitments against the backdrop of an evolving academic field. With texts that range from academic journal articles to obituaries, written from 1976 to 2021, \u003ci\u003eAn Oblique Autobiography\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the range of Bois's authorial voice and offers a remarkable self-portrait of one of art history's primary protagonists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYve-Alain Bois, widely recognized as an expert on twentieth-century art, is the coauthor (with Rosalind E.
