Show (&) Tell. The Films & Videos of Lawrence Weiner
Ghent, Belgium: Imschoot, Uitgevers, 1992. 1st Edition. Quarto, publisher’s stiff printed paper wraps.
Catalogue raisonné published in conjunction with a series of exhibitions dedicated to the films and videos of leading conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner. A prominent figure in the late 1960s conceptual art scene, Weiner revolutionized the artist's role and the concept of art itself. Primarily employing language as his medium, he continues to fundamentally challenge traditional notions of objecthood and the artist-viewer relationship. Edited by Bartomeu Mari, this extensive survey of a lesser known aspect of Weiner's oeuvre comprises an interview, critical essays, a text by the artist, and full film and video listings with commentary by his wife Alice. Illustrated in black-and-white; with an introduction by eminent art historian and curator Rudi Fuchs, a list of selected documentation, bibliography, and an index. Some edgewear to wraps. Very good.
