Art is weird, man.

[Todondon]

Having taken art courses and being mesmerized by the avant-garde history, I couldn't believe when I found this book at a used store, cast off as an unimportant book. This historical context of this book, let alone the content, makes it one of my upmost treasures! I enjoy reading through the artists I've known about, at their grassroots level.

If you love HAPPENINGS (I do) & have an interest in Assemblage (I do) & love ENVIRONMENTS & know about Kaprow's work then I need say no more. This is a lovingly put together bk of work that was very fresh at the time & work that still thrills me. It's full of fantastic photographs of fantastic events - not just by the people listed in the bk description but many other vital folks as well. There's a picture, eg, of "Rose-Marie Larsson was on the lead end of a 180-foot history-of-the-world-in-rags train. Her marriage to the small auromobile followed." Don't see that everyday.
