"A much-needed survey of the history of visual art in California from the early 20th century to the present... Manage[s] to lucidly layer the sociopolitical, geographic, institutional, and cultural concerns of the moment... Sorkin's survey is an unprecedented example of inclusivity, consistently foregrounding craftspeople, artist-educators, women, queer artists, and artists of color -- while reiterating that for most of the period covered by this book, opportunity in the art world (in California as elsewhere) was restricted to white, heterosexual men. Her approach is refreshingly nonhierarchical: she gives nearly every artist mentioned roughly the same amount space, regardless of their art-world status.-- ""Hyperallergic"""
