Museums deals by Artists, 1st Edition, Softcover Book, 1983, Art Metropole, Edited by AA Bronson & Peggy Gale, Artists Book
Vintage copy of Museums by Artists, a softcover art book published in 1983 in Canada by Art Metropole. Texts are in French & English. 304pp.
This copy is in good vintage condition. It shows some age on the cover with slight yellowing and the book as a whole shows evidence of being a library book for the University of California, Santa Cruz, with various stickers and stamp cards- however this adds to the history in my opinion, However, because of this... we factored in discounted price.
It is our understanding this is 1st edition.
Art Metropole describe the book as:
'An anthology of texts and works exploring the relationship of the artist to the museum, from Duchamp's seminal Boite-en-valise and Oldenburg's Mouse Museum to the critical work of Hans Haacke and Daniel Buren. Harald Szeeman's proposal for Museum of Obsessions at a future Documenta is here reproduced in English for the first time. Edited by AA Bronson and Peggy Gale.
