Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
A groundbreaking examination of the ?double? in modern and contemporary art
From ancient mythology to contemporary cinema, the motif of the double?which repeats, duplicates, mirrors, inverts, splits, and reenacts?has captured our imaginations, both attracting and repelling us. The Double examines this essential concept through the lens of art, from modernism to contemporary practice?from the paired paintings of Henri Matisse and Arshile Gorky, to the double line works of Piet Mondrian and Marlow Moss, to Eva Hesse?s One More Than One, Lorna Simpson?s Two Necklines, Roni Horn?s Pair Objects, and Rashid Johnson?s The New Negro Escapist Social and Athletic Club (Emmett). James Meyer?s survey text explores four modes of doubling: Seeing Double through repetition; Reversal, the inversion or mirroring of an image or form; Dilemma, the staging of an absurd or impossible choice; and the Divided and Doubled Self (split and shadowed selves, personae, fraternal doubles, and pairs). Thought-provoking essays by leading scholars Julia Bryan-Wilson, Tom Gunning, W.J.T. Mitchell, Hillel Schwartz, Shawn Michelle Smith, and Andrew Solomon discuss a host of topics, including the ontology and ethics of the double, the double and psychoanalysis, double consciousness, the doppelgänger in silent cinema, and the queer double.
Richly illustrated throughout, The Double is a multifaceted exploration of an enduring theme in art, from painting and sculpture to photography, film, video, and performance.

"An extraordinary selection of over 120 works reveals the splits, juxtapositions, reflections, and multiplications deployed by modern and contemporary artists to explore sameness and difference, the original and the copy, the self and the other."---Rachel Vogel, CAA.Reviews More
