The volume includes an overview of the artists involved, such as Leon Golub, June Leaf, Seymour Rosofsky, and Nancy Spero; an introduction to the historical context surrounding the group’s emergence in the 1950s; and a discussion of Monster Roster prints. In addition, key texts can be found reprinted here, such as Jean Dubuffet’s 1951 lecture “Anticultural Positions” and Franz Schulze’s 1972 essay “Chicago: The Setting and the Group.” Containing full-color reproductions of many Monster Roster works, ephemera, and historical photographs, as well as a detailed chronology and exhibition history, Monster Roster is a long-awaited history of one of the most essential Midwestern contributions to American art.

Shipping terms
IMPORTANT INFO FOR US-CUSTOMERS: Due to the new tariffs for imports from the EU to the USA, PostNL and DHL have temporarily suspended shipment of parcels to the USA. Therefore we cannot accept orders from US-customers at this moment. We hope that this problem will be solved soon.
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
Otherwise, relatively small books (e.g. paperbacks with approx. 250 pages and/or less weight than 500 grams) will be charged with a much lower postage rate.
