Description: Recording Conceptual Art features a highly provocative series of previously unpublished interviews conducted in early 1969 with some of the most dynamic, daring, and innovative artists of the tumultuous 1960s. The nine individuals-eight artists and one art dealer-are now known as major contributors to Conceptual art. These fascinating dialogues, conducted by Patricia Norvell, provide tantalizing moments of spontaneous philosophizing and brilliant insights, as well as moments of unabashed self-importance, with highly imaginative and colorful individuals.
Review Quotes: "For me, the beauty of these interchanges lies in their historical and philosophical innocence. In reading through them, we are back at a time-1969-when no one knew the future, even if, in a way, it was already present in Szeemann's exhibitions. The book is delicious for its purity, like water taken from somewhere deep in the earth, untouched by the modern world."--"Artforum
