Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. The Play of the Unmentionable: an Installation by Joseph Kosuth at the Brooklyn; essay by David Freedberg; The New Press published in association with The Brooklyn Museum, New York, 1992. First edition. From the blurb At the height of the controversy over government funding for "obscene" works of art, internationally renowned conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth created "The Brooklyn Museum Collection: The Play of the Unmentionable", an exhibit about censorship at The Brooklyn Museum. His installation, one of the best-attended, most widely reviewed (and most controversial) of the year, juxtaposed works of art from throughout history that had been deemed politically, religiously, or sexually objectionable, with statements about the role of art in society by writers as diverse as Oscar Wilde, Adolf Hitler, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Using artworks drawn from the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Museum, The Play of the Unmentionable showed graphically how public and institutional ideas of obscenity and artistic value have changed throughout history and continue to change today. This handsome book documents the exhibit with twenty-one pages of color and more than a hundred duotone photographs and is designed to recapture the installation's juxtapositions of artworks and texts. This large format book, 148 pages measuring 303mm X 225mm is in fine condition in a fine dust jacket that is now in a protective mylar wrap.
