Book Description: Rutgers University Press, 1999. Soft Cover. Book Condition: New. 256 pages. ISBN13: 9780813526096 Size: 11" x 8" (279mm x 203mm). Though New York City has been the prime focus for much of American postwar art, significant schools and movements have arisen in sometimes strange outposts of the art world. Rutgers University, though just a short ride from SoHo, is not usually considered a hotbed of the avant-garde. However, as shown in this volume, which accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Newark Museum, the New Brunswick campus was the birthplace of a significant avant-garde movement in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The text focuses on artists such as Lucas Samaras, Roy Lichtenstein, George Segal, Allan Kaprow, and others, clearly documenting their influence on the art of the Sixties. Of particular interest are the interviews with the artists who worked (either as students or instructors) at Rutgers in this important period. - Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Book Description: Rutgers University Press, 1999. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened -- 216 pages . Description: " 'Off Limits' examines a group of Rutgers artists who came together on the Rutgers University, New Brunswick, campus during the 1950's and revolutionized art practices and pedagogy. This groundbreaking book features more than 140 illustrations as well as interviews with Allan Kaprow, Roy Lichtenstein, Lucas Samaras, George Segal, Robert Whitman, and Geoffrey Hendricks. Essays are by Simon Anderson, Joseph Jacobs, Jackson Lears, Joan Marter, and Kristine Stiles. Also included is 'Project in Multiple Dimensions,' a previously unpublished statement by Kaprow, Robert Watts, and George Brecht about their commitment to art and technology, and an uncanny prediction about the future of art. Rutgers was clearly the place to be for experimental artists during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Allan Kaprow's first Happening, Roy Lichtenstein's first Pop paintings, George Segal's earliest figurative tableaux, and photo-Fluxus events and Conceptual Art by Robert Watts and George Brecht all were made or took place on or near the Rutgers campus. Simultaneously, Lucas Samaras was painting with smoke on aluminum foil and embedding razor blades in boards, and Robert Whitman was making installations incorporating film projections, the forerunner of video installation. This innovative group boldly rejected the then-fashionable Abstract Expressionism and created startling new artforms that still prevail at the end of the century.". Bookseller Inventory # 81489
