Art-Rite. Issue No. 14. Winter 76/77
New York: Art-Rite Publishing Company, 1976. Quarto, publisher's stapled illustrated newsprint wraps.
Issue number fourteen 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 artists' book-themed issue features a symposium on artist's books with dozens of participants, including Kathy Acker, Agnes Denes, John Baldessari, Adrian Piper, Sol Lewitt, and others, as well as a catalog of artists' books, contributions from and/or profiles on David Salle, Constanc DeJong, Chris Burden, and others, with a cover designed by Carl Andre. Illustrated with black-and-white photos and reproductions. Embrowning to newsprint, light edgewear to wraps. Very good. Item #12650
