Arranged as a continuous bibliographical chronology, into which is woven a rich collection of original documents -including texts by, and taped discussions with and among, the artists involved-and annotations by Lucy R. Lippard, the book has the informal quality of a lively contemporary forum. Only a minimum of order is imposed; for the most part the reader is left to confront the curious compendium of information on his or her own, to follow changing ideas and artistic developments over the six-year period, to witness the gradual (and controversial) "dematerialization" of the art object. At the same time, the book is a fully sourced historical survey, a necessary reference book for anyone interested in the period. The editor has been closely involved with the art and the artists since their emergence. In a unique position to collect an extraordinary range of unpublished material, she has organized the text and illustrations in such a way as to present the art in all its diversity. Over one hundred artists are represented by works or writings - among them, Carl Andre, Joseph Beuys, Hans Haacke, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman,Yoko Ono, Robert Smithson, and Keith Sonnier. … (Verlagstext) // KÜNSTLER : Carl Andre ----- Eleanor Antin ----- Keith Arnatt ----- Richard Artschwager ----- John Baldessari ----- Robert Barry ----- Gilbert + George ----- Hanne Darboven ----- James Collins ----- F.

About this title

Synopsis

In Six Years Lucy R. Lippard documents the chaotic network of ideas that has been labeled conceptual art. The book is arranged as an annotated chronology into which is woven a rich collection of original documents—including texts by and taped discussions among and with the artists involved and by Lippard, who has also provided a new preface for this edition. The result is a book with the character of a lively contemporary forum that offers an invaluable record of the thinking of the artists—a historical survey and essential reference book for the period.

From the Inside Flap

"Many artists, curators, and cultural critics will be interested in the republication of this anthology since the movement it gives contour to has had a tremendous influence on the contemporary art of the last 25 years, and on the critical discussion surrounding the concept of postmodernism."—Alexander Alberro, coauthor of Tracing Cultures
