Ursula Meyer | Conceptual Art



Ursula Meyer
Conceptual Art
New York City, USA: E. P. Dutton, 1972
227 pp.,
Edition size unknown

A collection of almost entirely male contributions to conceptual art (despite being authored by a woman), including Vito Acconci, John Baldessari, Daniel Buren, Jan Dibbets, Dan Graham, Hans Haacke, On Kawara, Sol Lewitt, Bruce Nauman, Dennis Oppenheim, Ed Ruscha, Lawrence Weiner, and others.

The only women to feature are Adrian Piper, Rosemarie Castaro and Hilla Becher (with her husband Bernd). Even the listing for N.E.Thing Company is followed by Iain Baxter's name in parenthesis, omitting the contributions of his wife Ingrid.

Still, there are some important works collected here, and the volume adheres to the principle that conceptual art is best represented by primary sources.
