Beschreibung

• The book addresses individual works and groups of works by Ree Morton in extensive dossiers. Complementing these descriptions are the artist’s numerous and highly informative notebooks and sketchbooks as well as contemporary visual material—an immense number of documentary photographs by Ree Morton herself—that are drawn on to describe and reconstruct the genesis of both existing works and works that have been destroyed or can no longer be located. The contributors to this publication address the phenomenon and the unique features of 1970s installation art in general and of Ree Morton’s art in particular. Rounding out the book is an extensive chronological biographical and bibliographical survey by Ilse Lafer.
