THE EVOLUTION OF ANY ARTIST'S WORK INVOLVES TALENT, TRAIN, ing, circumstance, and, not unimportantly, accident. Having known Susan Rothenberg since the early 1970s and witnessed personally many of the changes on the scene and in the studio, I hope that, with limitations of participant,observer status acknowledged, the details provided here will begin to illuminate both the context and content of her diverse, often enigmatic, and important body of work.

My thanks are first to Susan Rothenberg, who as artist and friend continues to surprise. She provided much new material, including previously unpublished photographs, and many answers to questions she has ducked in the past. Most importantly, my thanks to her for the privilege of argument and the recognition of differences in interpretation.
