Published to coincide with the exhibition of the same title at the John Hansard Gallery, University of Southampton, November to January 1997.
'The exhibition explores the familiar theme that artists are obsessive, but turns it on its head to show that obsession in the modern world is not necessarily what it seems. It seeks to demonstrate that, in their projection of the idea of the obsessional, many artists are addressing the topic of psychoanalysis in new and important ways.' (Introduction)
Biographical details of the artists and list of plates are provided. Note: Only Asian artists are indexed below.
