Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9781935263753
Description: New York: Gagosian Gallery, 2014. 24cm., hardcover, 484pp. illus., most in color. Revised, expanded edition. Summary: The book features an all-new chapter examining the life and work of Jasper Johns, and a new preface written by Tomkins. This title will also be available as an e-book, the first of its kind to be released by Gagosian Gallery, and marks the inauguration of The Bride and the Bachelors as a digital reader. The original edition of The Bride and the Bachelors, released in 1965, included chapters on Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Jean Tinguely, and Robert Rauschenberg. Its subtitle, The Heretical Courtship in Modern Art, conveyed the challenges that these artists' work presented to viewers at the time. A fifth chapter on Merce Cunningham, whose innovations in dance echoed the waning role of the artist's hand in painting and sculpture, was added for the 1968 edition. Nearly fifty years after the original book's release, these artists are reaffirmed as pivotal voices of the avant-garde, and The Bride and the Bachelors stands as the most intimate and authoritative account of their individual and shared practices.
