Irwin is the first California artist to rise to a stellar position within the art world. The book chronicles Irwin from his modest beginnings in suburban Los Angeles through his journey of self-discovery in finding his place in the art world. He ultimately pursues the somewhat unrealistic goal of stripping objects of art down to a presence or indeed a perception. Lawrence Weschler, a staff writer for twenty years at the "New Yorker, " is the Director of the New York Institute of the Humanities at New York University and Artistic Director of the Chicago Humanities Festival.
