Eleanor Antin. Works 1965-2017

For more than fifty years, Eleanor Antin (*1935, New York) has been a distinctive voice in American art. This most comprehensive monograph to date accompanies the artists first retrospective in twenty-five years and her first ever in Europe. It documents Antin's seminal work that built pioneering connections between conceptual art and feminist movements, and encompasses literature, performances, photographs, films, and installations, including previously unpublished ephemera, poems, and images. The commissioned texts each dive into a key facet of Antin's work: her life in New York and then San Diego; her Jewish identity, her feminist stance, the performative aspect of her work, her films, the impact of her art on a younger generation of artists, and her unfailing humor. It also features a complete exhibition history, a comprehensive list of works, and a detailed timeline of her life.
