About This Item
The Whitney Museum of American Art, 2007 4to (29 cm), 240 pp. Stiff publisher's wrappers. "Qualifying the ancient Greek saying “Man is the measure,” Gordon Matta-Clark (1943--1978) asserted instead “You are the measure,” conveying the defining theme in an oeuvre that would exert a powerful influence on fellow artists and architects. In artworks that combined minimalist, conceptual, and performative practices, Matta-Clark gave primary importance to the individual and considerations of everyday life. This comprehensive book incorporates important new information from the Matta-Clark archive, presenting a compelling reappraisal of the unique beauty and radical nature of Matta-Clark’s punnings, plans, performances, and interventions evident in the many media in which he worked: sculptural objects (most notably from building cuts), drawings, films, photographs, and documentary material." (from the publisher's description)
