Item description from seller

Black and red and illus. wraps, 204 pp., BW & color illus. A collection of 9 essays. "Lawrence Alloway (1926-90) was a key figure in the development of modern art in Europe and America from the 1950s to the 1980s. Credited with coining the term 'pop art,' he also championed conceptual art and feminist artists in America. His interests as a critic and as a curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York ranged widely, including architecture, design, earthworks, film, neorealism, science fiction, and public sculpture. Largely self-taught, Alloway was a noted educator and a prolific writer who sought to escape the conventions of art historical discourse. The essays in this volume illuminate Alloway's crucial role in shaping the field and anticipating approaches such as social art history and visual and cultural studies." (back cover) Essays are: Lawrence Alloway: pedagogy, practice, and the recognition of audience, 1948-1959 / Victoria Walsh -- Science fiction as muse: Lawrence Alloway and the art of speculative criticism / Rebecca Peabody -- Criticism at the frontier: Lawrence Alloway at the movies / Lucy Bradnock -- "Spacial disorientation patterns": Lawrence Alloway, curating, and the global turn / Michael Lobel -- Lawrence Alloway's systems / Courtney J. Martin -- Lawrence Alloway, Robert Smithson, and earthworks / Joy Sleeman -- Teaching art criticism: Lawrence Alloway at Stony Brook / Jennifer Mundy -- The art world as multiple: Lawrence Alloway and artists and photographs / Beatrice von Bismarck -- The present complex: Lawrence Alloway and the currency of museums / Julia Bryan-Wilson.
