The artist's body

2012
Book
This definitive work charts the evolution of an influential movement that continues to provoke controversy today. Over 250 images of performance, painting, photography, sculpture and installation bring together the largely untold story of these influential works with clear, insightful, explanatory texts. A survey by Amelia Jones, a leading authority on body and performance art, illustrates the genre's inimitable insight into the social and culture upheavals of the last sixty years. Includes work from CaroleeSchneemann, Yoko Ono, Chris Burden, Ana Mendieta, Vito Acconci, Marina Abramovic, Matthew Barney, Marc Quinn, Tracey Emin, Mona Hatoum and many more.
