Item Number: 130340 Title: Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s Author: Schwartz, Alexandra Price: Not Available ISBN: 9780520282889 Description: Berkeley: University of California Press, 2014. 26cm., hardcover, 176pp., 84 color illus. Exhibition catalogue. Summary: Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s is the first major museum survey to historicize art made in the United States during this pivotal decade. Showcasing approximately sixty-five works by forty-five artists, this book includes installations, paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, video, sound, and digital art. Come as You Are offers an overview of art made in the United States between 1989 and 2001, a period bookended by two intractable events: the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9/11. Organized around three principle themes, the "identity politics" debates; the digital revolution; and globalization, its title refers to the 1992 song by Nirvana and to the issues of identity that were complicated by the effects of new technologies and global migration. All the artists in the exhibition made their initial "point of entry" into the art historical discourse during the 1990s, and reflect the increasingly heterogeneous nature of the art world during this time, when many women artists and artists of color attained unprecedented prominence. Contributors include Huey Copeland, Jennifer González, Suzanne Hudson, Joan Kee, Kris Paulsen, Frances Jacobus-Parker, Paulina Pobocha, and John Tain.
