Condizione: 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.

Softcover. Condizione: 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.…
