Cameron, Dan (and) Lisa Phillips (and) Dad Cameron (and) Amelia Jones (and) Anthony Vidler - Paul Mccarthy

Ostfildern, Hatje Cantz, 2000. Softcover. A softcover book with the title in pink down a blue-hued spine. Pages: (7), 2-257. Profusely illustrated with color images. "Working from a pioneering fusion of sculpture and conceptually based performance, Paul McCarthy is one of the most influential, yet least recognized artists in the U.S. today. While his architectural installations incorporating video and performance artifacts have received critical and curatorial attention during the present decade, few viewers are familiar with his artistic evolution, or with the impact his work has had on two generations of Los Angeles artists. This publication, covering about 400 works from all areas of his activity, gives an exemplary insight into McCarthy's works from the early 1970s up to the present day. Experts on his work give comprehensive descriptions and analyses of the American artist's performances and installations, examine the unique ties between his works and cinema, and explore the dialogue between New York and Los Angeles, particularly in the formulation and development of conceptual art." Contents are as follows: Introduction : Paul McCarthy's theater of the body / Lisa Phillips -- The mirror stage / Dan Cameron -- Paul McCarthy's inside out body and the desublimation of masculinity / Amelia Jones -- Panoptic drives/mental spaces : notes on Paul McCarthy's "Dimensions of the mind" / Anthony Vidler -- Biography. VG: Exlibray book. Sticker at the base of the spine. Stamp on the half-title page. Stamp on the last page. Sticker and due date card on the back inside cover. Stamps on top and bottom text blocks.
