Hosszú leírás:

For more than fifty years, Eleanor Antin (b. 1935, New York) has been a distinctive voice in American contemporary art, notably for building lasting and pioneering connections between conceptual art and feminist movements, literature, and performance. This extensive monograph, the most comprehensive on Antin to date, accompanies the first retrospective of the artist in twenty-five years and the first ever in Europe. It reproduces images of Antins seminal works, many of which circle around her various invented personas, and of her performances, photographs, films and installations. It also includes previously unpublished ephemera, poems, and images.The commissioned texts each dive into a key facet of Antins work: her life in New York and then San Diego; her Jewish identity, her feminist stance, the performative aspect of her work, her films, the impact of her art on a younger generation of artists, and her unfailing humour. It also features a complete exhibition history, a comprehensive list of works, and a detailed timeline of her life.
