Book
324 pp.; 19.6 x 12.8 cm.; glue bound; black-and-white; edition size unknown; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed Critical theory book about Robert Rauschenberg and the artworld of 1950s and 1960s New York by Calvin Tomkins. Illustrated in black-and-white. Includes an appendix and index. "Calvin Tomkins, cultural connoisseur and best-selling author of Living Well Is the Best Revenge," celebrates one of the most fascinating and adventurous art crowds in history - and a high point in American art - in Off the Wall. Focusing on the career of Robert Rauschenberg, Tomkins chronicles the astonishingly creative period of the 1950s and 1960s, when New York artists moved art off the walls of museums and galleries and into the center of the social scene. This revolution was led by the painters Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning and carried on by Jasper Johns, Frank Stella, and Andy Warhol, as well as by the dealers Leo Castelli and Betty Parsons, the patron Peggy Guggenheim, and John Cage and Merce Cunningham. Off the Wall is a witty, stylish, and exuberant portrait of the art-makers of our time." -- publisher's statement. Fair. Covers worn from reading. Yellowing of coves and pages with dusting and creasing of covers and 15 cm. dog-ear to page 119. Contents clean and unmarked.
