{"product_id":"art-workers-radical-practice-in-the-vietnam-war-era-9780520269750","title":"Art Workers: Radical Practice in the Vietnam War Era","description":"During the late 1960s and early 1970s, in response to the political turbulence generated by the Vietnam War, an important group of American artists and critics sought to expand the definition of creative labor by identifying themselves as \"art workers.\" In the first book to examine this movement, Julia Bryan-Wilson shows how a polemical redefinition of artistic labor played a central role in minimalism, process art, feminist criticism, and conceptualism. In her close examination of four seminal figures of the period-American artists Carl Andre, Robert Morris, and Hans Haacke, and art critic Lucy Lippard-Bryan-Wilson frames an engrossing new argument around the double entendre that \"art works.\" She traces the divergent ways in which these four artists and writers rallied around the \"art worker\" identity, including participating in the Art Workers' Coalition-a short-lived organization founded in 1969 to protest the war and agitate for artists' rights-and the New York Art Strike. By connecting social art history and theories of labor, this book illuminates the artworks and protest actions that were central to this pivotal era in both American art and politics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Best Book of 2009, Artforum Magazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3950626\"\u003eJulia Bryan-Wilson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520269750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520269756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART015100\"\u003eHistory | Modern (Late 19th Century to 1945)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART015020\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulia Bryan-Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Art History at the University of California, Irvine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44296980955373,"sku":"9780520269750","price":58.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_47610dba-ed9e-4c5d-a5d7-38971f3cff10.jpg?v=1697217238","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/art-workers-radical-practice-in-the-vietnam-war-era-9780520269750","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
