Seth Siegelaub (1941–2013) was the first dealer and exhibition organizer in New York to focus on conceptual art. “Better Read Than Dead” was the title that he had chosen for an anthology of his own writings—one of the projects for which he never found the time. This book brings together his personal notes, public interviews, and precious few published writings into one volume, offering unprecedented insight into the many facets of his inquisitive life. Seth Siegelaub: "Better Read Than Dead" Writings and Interviews 1964–2013 is edited by Marja Bloem, Lauren van Haaften-Schick, Sara Martinetti, and Jo Melvin, and published by König Books with the Stichting Egress Foundation.
