Description: Lucy R. Lippard's famous book, itself resembling an exhibition, is now brought full circle in an exhibition (and catalog) resembling her book.
Brief description: Catherine Morris is Curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum.
Review Quotes: Along with a short retrospective essay by Ms. Lippard, chapters by the exhibition's organizers, Catherine Morris and Vincent Bonin, clearly and engagingly explicate a genre so casual observers often find stupefyingly obscure. The book should be required reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this still powerful influence of theory on art today.--The New York Times--
Materializing Six Years: Lucy R. Lippard and the Emergence of Conceptual Art is as lavish a publication as the original is modest. It includes 200 images, and it's a treat--and kind of a bibliophilic joke--to see these black-and-white photographs, diagrams, typescripts, and postcards printed in color, so that creamy paper looks creamy and ballpoint pen can be told apart from pencil.
