A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Installation is arguably the most original, vigorous, and fertile form of art today. This book sets out to describe the tradition and explore the achievements and ambitions of the installation artist. Michael Archer's illuminating introduction traces the history of installation art from Duchamp's first readymade through the Pop tableaux of Kienholz, Oldenburg, Kaprow, and Dine to more recent developments such as Land Art and Process Art. Installation is a rich art form, often heroic in scale, sometimes witty and subversive, usually impermanent. This pioneering volume captures fully the variety and scale of these many-layered works—the essential contemporary record.

Revue de presse :

“Duchamp and Christo, Schwitters and Nam June Paik are all part of this long tradition, traced here from the 19th century to the present in well-annotated illustrations.”—Library Journal

“No art form can rival installation for sheer variety of material, style, setting, and intent, a profusion well celebrated within these pages.”—Booklist
