| Description: |
Explores Nauman's relationship to the place where he created his earliest and most strikingly original works during the mid to late 1960s. This book demonstrates that Nauman established much of his artistic vocabulary during this period and that he laid the groundwork for fundamental ideas he addressed throughout his oeuvre. |
| Synopsis: |
One of the most innovative, provocative, and influential of America's contemporary artists, Bruce Nauman spent his formative years in Northern California - first as a graduate student at the University of California, Davis, then living in and around San Francisco. This splendidly illustrated book explores Nauman's relationship to the place where he created his earliest and most strikingly original works during the mid to late 1960s. "A Rose Has No Teeth" demonstrates that Nauman established much of his artistic vocabulary during this period and that he laid the groundwork for fundamental ideas he addressed throughout his oeuvre, such as the role of the artist, the function of art, and the primacy of the idea over its form. Curator Constance M. Lewallen describes how the late 1960s were not only a time of political and social change in the San Francisco Bay Area; this was also a watershed period in art internationally, when Minimalism gave way to Post-minimalism and Conceptual Art, expanding into performance, film and video, installation, text works, and the photographic documents.This book shows that Nauman was at the forefront of these revolutionary changes and almost single-handedly redefined what it meant to be an artist. |
