A monograph on Keith Sonnier, the revolutionary pioneer of the Process Art movement, this book documents five decades of the artist's prolific and ever-evolving exploration of three-dimensional art. One of the first artists to use light, specifically neon, as a form of sculpture, Keith Sonnier changed our ideas of what sculpture is and could be. From his early pieces such as Rat Tail Exercise and the Ba-O-Ba series to his most recent luminous neon-based series, this book explores the progression and influence of Sonnier's oeuvre. Essays in the book look at Sonnier's numerous public art projects, including a kilometer-long installation at the Munich airport, his relationship with his native Louisiana culture, and the architectural influences in his work. One of the art world's most productive figures, Sonnier continues to redefine the parameters of sculpture. This beautiful monograph celebrates an artist who has never ceased experimenting--and never stopped astonishing his audience. Published in association with the Parrish Art Museum

A revealing study of the sensual tensions powering the period's formal and ideological innovations.

As one of the greatest pioneers of international conceptual art, Italian artist Piero Manzoni (1933-1963) maintained strong ties with the Netherlands. The unlocking of his intensive correspondence with Rotterdam gallery owner Hans Sonnenberg has revealed the extent of Manzoni's influence on the post-war avant-garde in the Netherlands.0During his short artistic career Piero Manzoni produced more than a thousand canvases, sculptures and other objects. He radically rejected the conventional context of the work of art, even integrating the body of the artist in the work. He also created so-called Achromes, literally: ?without colour.? Manzoni considered the surface of the canvas to be a space of unlimited possibilities. It no longer accommodated the illusion of the painted representation, or the artist's personal expressive gesture, but it became an autonomous entity instead. Manzoni's work was of great influence on artists associated with the Dutch nul-groep and the international ZERO movement.0'Manzoni in Holland' is the untold story of the special relationship that one of the most prominent avant-garde artists of the twentieth century had with the Netherlands.00Exhibition: Stedelijk Museum, Schiedam, The Netherlands (18.02.-02.06.2019).

"This is the colorful and dramatic biography of two of America's most controversial entrepreneurs: Moses Louis Annenberg, 'the racing wire king, ' who built his fortune in racketeering, invested it in publishing, and lost much of it in the biggest tax evasion case in United States history; and his son, Walter, launcher of TV Guide and Seventeen magazines and former ambassador to Great Britain."--Jacket.

This book is a vivid document of his major contributions to a more idealistic era of extreme innovation and radicality in art. Oppenheim's practice uniquely forms the main transition between Land Art and Body Art. Through texts and images, the book demonstrates the conceptual move from grandiose, large-scale and labor-intensive earthworks to the more intimate, expressive, and psychologically charged medium of the artist's own body. Dennis Oppenheim has had a profound impact in forever altering the idiom of sculpture and what constitutes a work of art. Land Art, which first became known to a wider public with the Earthworks show at the Dwan Gallery in New York and the Earth Art exhibit at Cornell University Gallery in 1968, was a seminal movement in the critical discourse after Minimalism. Artists made an all-important maneuver to redirect energies beyond the gallery and museum setting by claiming, plotting and reshaping the land as art. Oppenheim had always used his body in producing Land Art, whether he was laboriously cutting through the ice for projects on the border of the United States and Canada or in stressing an embodied viewer in Viewing Systems, 1967. Oppenheim's body, captured on film through photographs and videotape, became the subject of his art. Discomfort, even danger and humor were the key elements in these quasi-autobiographical works in which the artist was his own canvas.
