Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1. This comprehensive, richly illustrated book explores postwar American art from a new perspective: Southern California. The analysis of the L.A. art scene from the end of World War II until the beginning of the 1980s--the first in-depth scholarly survey of the region's art--demonstrates the major role Southern California artists played in the twentieth century's most influential art movements. Grounded in more than a decade of research, the five chapters augmented by lively sidebars take readers on a tour of an art world in constant formation. The story unfolds through the people, relationships, and ideas that defined the region's artistic production. Photographs and rare materials from the Getty Research Institute and other archives bring the era to life, opening a window onto the emergence of hardedge abstraction, ceramic sculpture, assemblage, pop art, conceptualism, performance art, and avant-garde practices that blurred boundaries and defied labels. The result is an indispensable resource that will fundamentally change the view of modern art in America. .…

Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "Addressing the maniacal, eccentric, and disorienting in artworks made between 1950 and 1980, Delirious situates a fascination with the absurd and irrational within the context of the violence and brutality witnessed during World War II as well as the rapid expansion of industrial capitalism in the 1950s. Skepticism of science and technology--along with fear of its capability to promote mass destruction--developed into a distrust of rationalism, which in the arts had the paradoxical result of extracting irrational effects from rational means." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Think crazy: the art and history of delirium, by Kelly Baum; Bite your tongue: Antonin Artaud and the neo-avant-garde, by Lucy Bradnock; Blown circuits: technology and irrationality in postwar art, by Tine Rivers Ryan; Plates.

Condition: Very Good. 352 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Clean, unmarked copy with only minor wear to dust jacket. Like new in publisher's shrink-wrap. Documents the burgeoning Southern Californian post-war art scene, with several essays following a more or less chronological order, and hundreds of illustrations of artworks, but also of art people (a wonderful 1963 photograph of Marcel Duchamp playing chess with a naked Eve Babitz in front of a replica of his Large Glass in Pasadena, photographs of artists working in their studios, etc). Some names are well known, others less so, but it is the versatility, the creativity and, above all, the richness and depth of this LA art scene that strike the reader-viewer through these richly illustrated pages. The birth of a genuine pop art in California (thanks to some of the most gifted artdealers in the US), of conceptual art, the creation of a new way of making sculpture, all those aspects are tackled in an informative and erudite (sometimes too erudite, though.)text that makes this book a more than valuable addition to the literature on post-war American art.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st. Cloth, vii, 232 pages, illustrations (some colour); 26 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. *** "Proposing an original reassessment of art from the 1950s to the 1970s, No More Masterpieces reveals how artistic practice in postwar America was profoundly shaped by the work of the rebellious French poet and dramatist Antonin Artaud. A generation of artists mobilized Artaud's countercultural ideas to imagine new forms of representation and to redefine the relationship between artist and audience. The book shows how Artaud's radical writings inspired the experimental theatrical work of John Cage, Rachel Rosenthal, and Allan Kaprow; the attack on artistic and social conventions launched by assemblage artists Wallace Berman and Bruce Conner; and the feminist work of Carolee Schneemann and Nancy Spero. Lucy Bradnock traces the dissemination of Artaud's writings in America and demonstrates how his interest in political and cultural disorder, the dangers of authority, and the unreliability of representation found fertile ground in the context of the Cold War, disillusionment with the ideals of Abstract Expressionism, and the early years of identity politics." - Publisher.

Softcover. Condition: VG+. Close to new. 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.…
