Description

This comprehensive international bibliography attempts to document the diverse field of artists' performance from futurism to fluxus and beyond, covering the history of performance art. The book focuses on its early 20th-century antecedents in such movements as Futurism, Dada, Russian Constructivist and Bauhaus, and its peak period in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, with such developments as Fluxus, Viennese Actionism, Situationism and Guerrilla Art Action. Major emphasis is also given to sources on 115 individual performance artists and groups. More than 3600 entries document print and media materials dating from 1914 to 1992. Organised for maximum accessibility, the sources are also extensively cross-referenced and are indexed by artist, subject, title and author. There are two appendices, identifying reference sources and archival holdings. Two other appendices list artists by country and by group or collective.
