[Nam June Paik]
Nam June Paik: Art in Process
Los Angeles, USA: Gagosian, 2022
180 pp., 23.5 × 30.2 cm., hardcover
Edition size unknown
Published on the occasion of the two-part exhibition of the same name, curated by John G. Hanhardt, this volume surveys Paik’s work and reflects on the artist’s working method and the ideas and materials that inspired his art practice.
As the title suggests, the book highlights the centrality of process across Paik’s career—from the manipulation of television sets in the early 1960s to live global satellite telecasts and large-scale video sculptures. It includes collaborations with Joseph Beuys and Charlotte Moorman.
Nam June Paik: Art in Process features essays by Hanhardt and Gregory Zinman, and extensive illustrations including numerous full-page plates and details, a foldout of the score for Paik’s Symphony for 20 Rooms (1961), as well as rarely seen archival photographs documenting Paik’s early performances by Peter Moore (1932–1993), dating from 1964 through 1977.
