Synopsis
Explores the roots and fruits of this radical art movement.
Here Emmett Williams turns cartoonist, in the footsteps of Lyonel Feininger, Rube Goldberg, and Ad Reinhardt. His pseudo-historical collage-drawings, digitally remastered by Ann Noel for this edition, are peopled with often-irreverent images of his real-life friends and colleagues. Williams, the oldest living member of Fluxus, assumes the role of know-it-all ringmaster in a three-ring circus that highlights the fanciful antics of the stars of Fluxus, Happenings, and Performance Art: George Maciunas, John Cage, Claes Oldenburg, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Joseph Beuys, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, and Williams and Noel themselves. On the left-hand pages, opposite each cartoon, are documents from the author's personal archives relating some of the amusing and unexpected things that really happened in Fluxus events over the years."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st. Cloth, 152 pages, illustrations (some colour); 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. "70 'Kunstfibel' collages digitally remastered by Ann Noel with commentaries by the artist. *** "In his third volume exploring the roots and fruits of 'the most radical art movement of the past half century,' Emmett Williams turns cartoonist, following in the footsteps of Lyonel Feininger, Rube Goldberg and Ad Reinhardt. His colourful, pseudo-historical drawings, painstakingly remastered by Ann Noel for this edition, are often peopled with less than flattering made-up images of his real-life friends and colleagues. It is fun to watch the octogenarian poet, the oldest living Fluxus artist, assume the role of a know-it-all ringmaster in a three-ring circus limelighting the fanciful antics of the stars of Fluxus, Happenings and Performance Art - George Maciunas, John Cage, Joseph Beuys, Robert Filliou, Ben Vautier, Claes Oldenburg, Yoko Ono and John Lennon, Nam June Paik and Charlotte Moorman, Christo and Jeanne-Claude - and dozens more including Williams and Ann Noel themselves. The book may be irreverent and pseudo-historical, but the author stresses in his introduction that even in the most far-fetched pictures 'there is an iota, a jot, or a tittle of truth'--And there, on the left-hand pages, opposite each of the cartoons, are enlightening documents from the author's personal archive relating some of the unlikely things that really happened in Performance Art 'show biz' over the years. Yes, Emmett Williams' brand of history can be fun as well as informative - and in tune with George Maciunas' manifesto describing Fluxus art-amusement as 'a fusion of Spike Jones, Vaudeville, gag, children's games and Duchamp.' (Yes, Duchamp himself stars in the book!)." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. Collectible. Seller Inventory # 094630
