"Nico sings "I'll be your mirror." The Velvet Underground virtually buffets us with this song. It strikes at us, and reaches down to disturb us. Not in vanity, but as a desperate cry for sanity. It is sung to ghosts; to a generation that has been artfully misrepresented, scientifically marketed, packaged, sold and sold again since birth." (David A. Ross). Profusely illustrated with color photographs by Goldin throughout. With contributions by David Armstrong, James Fenton, Nan Goldin, Marvin Heiferman and others. Contains catalogue of works, list of works in the exhibition not reproduced in the catalogue, exhibition history, selected bibliography, writings and selected publications at rear.
