Art-Rite. Issue No. 9. Spring 1975
New York: Art-Rite Publishing Company, 1975. Quarto, publisher's stapled illustrated newsprint wraps.
Issue number nine of American art critic and downtown tastemaker Edit DeAk’s newsprint arts magazine. The idea for the magazine began in an art criticism class taught by Art in America editor Brian O'Doherty at Barnard College, where DeAk and future fellow editors Walter Robinson and Joshua Cohn were enrolled. Growing out of a project the three artists worked on for the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program, Art-Rite was established in 1973. Over its five-year run, the magazine published hundreds of interviews, reviews, artists statements, and projects by emerging and established artists associated with the Soho scene, becoming known for its themed issues (video, painting, performance, artists’s books, etc.), and for its artist-designed covers. This painting-themed issue features contributions from and/or profiles on Lawrence Alloway, Nancy Spero, Julian Schnabel, Brice Marden, and others, with a cover designed by Robert Ryman. Illustrated with black-and-white photos and reproductions. Embrowning to newsprint, some chipping to spine. Very good. Item #12648
