Summary:

Did you know that Ida Applebroog has been monitoring your home for the last 25 years? Whilst you were at it, thinking no decent citizen would peer in through lowered curtains at your version of domestic bliss, Applebroog was freeze-framing your scenes for posterity (yours, not hers). Show and tell seems to be the driving element behind her late-blooming career; variously labeled as a social voyeurist and a commentator, she is most aptly described as a willing witness of the way things work in that mini-theater of cruelty called life. Though her work is featured in the permanent collections of major international institutions, Applebroog's work has not received the public attention it deserves, a situation which this monograph means to remedy.
