Book Synopsis
Examining the ways in which artists shared the structuralist devotion to systems of many sorts, this title shows that even as structuralism encouraged the advent of conceptual art, it also raised intractable problems that artists were forced to confront.

Trade Review
"Simply put, Systems We Have Loved is a gorgeous discussion of art, ideas, and their intercourse. But it is the tangible patience, care, and aptness of Eve Meltzer's own language that bring about the book's specific and considerable accomplishment: here is a successful and nuanced reawakening of the fervent optimism that, surprisingly, engendered some of the 'coolest' art produced under the rubric of conceptualism." (Darby English, University of Chicago)"
