"When this remarkable book first appeared in 1982, it introduced readers to Robert Irwin, the Los Angeles artist 'who one day got hooked on his own curiosity and decided to live it.' Now expanded to include six additional chapters and twenty-four pages of color plates, 'Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees' chronicles three decades of extraordinary conversation between Weschler and Light and Space master Irwin, taking us into the heart of what it can mean to be an artist." -- publisher's statement.
