Piper, Adrian

Out of Order, out of Sight: Volume II, Selected Writings in Art Criticism, 1967-1992

Cambridge, MIT Press, 1996. 1st. Hardcover. Red cloth hardcover with silver embossed title on the spine. A matte dust jacket. (9), x-xxxvi, (3), 4-323 pages. 19 figures. Adrian Piper joins the ranks of writer-artists who have provided much of the basic and most reliable literature on modern and contemporary art. Out of Order, Out of Sight is an artistic and intellectual autobiography and an (occasionally scathing) commentary on mainstream art, art criticism, and American culture of the last twenty-five years. Piper is an internationally recognized conceptual artist and the only African American in the early conceptual art movement of the 1960s. The writings in Out of Order, Out of Sight trace the development of her thinking about her artwork and the art world, and her evolving awareness of herself as a creative, racial, and gendered subject situated in an often limiting and always absurd cultural and social context. VG/ VG, Exlibrary book in very good condition. Small ownership stamps on the top and bottom text block, as well as the front and back free end pages. There is very faint residue from a sticker on the dust jacket.
