€500.00

New York, The Fine Arts Building, 1975, 28x21,5 cm.; stapled, softcover, pp. [98] including covers, exhibition catalogue entirely Xerox-printed, with a cover photographic image by Caroline Tisdall portraying Joseph Beuys during a performance at René Block Gallery. First curatorial project by Jeffrey Deitch. The theme of Lives focused on artists who explored the lives of people (including their own) as the subject and/or medium of their work. Lives was one of the first exhibitions to bring together a new generation of performance-based artists who fused life and art. In the spirit of the 1970s, Deitch not only curated the exhibition but also produced the catalogue himself. His text was accompanied by hand-drawn pages, mostly created by the artists themselves: V.
