- The first full-length art-historical analysis of an unclassifiable monumental, modernist, single artwork (784 paintings, text, music), researched over 16 years by using archives (Paris, JHM:Amsterdam) and analysing curatorial interpretations in installations (London, Paris, Jerusalem, New York, Nice), this book challenges autobiographical interpretation, proposing a feminist-inflected Jewish-studies paradigm for close reading. Its discoveries include the work’s nonlinear, time-reversing structure, sexual abuse as the cause of multiple family suicides, the role of the visualization of Nietzchean counter-traumatic philosophy. The book is one of the first to interpret documents (published 2015) that imply the artist murdered the abuser her work revealed.
