Chris Burden (1946-2015), a pain artist for our time, worked in performance art, installation art, and sculpture, often putting his own flesh on the line as the gripping element in his pieces. This is the expanded catalog of his exhibition at the New Museum in New York which was held from 2 October 2013 to 12 January 2014. Our photograph from the book shows one of his few efforts which was even approximately undangerous.
