Description

Good Dreams, Bad Dreams brings together the work of 60 artists and more than 200 pieces from the Tony and Elham Salame Collection. Borrowing its title from an installation by Allen Ruppersberg, the book features the work of a multigenerational group of artists who engage in a complex analysis of American popular culture, entertaining a love-and-hate relationship with the founding myths of the American dream. At the core of the Tony and Elham Salame Collection is a group of artists who have chronicled dramatic changes in the cultural and artistic history of America from the 1980s to the present day.
