Robert Barry - The Defining of It...

This first monograph of one of the pioneers of American Conceptual Art provides an essential resource for the history of art in the 20th and 21st centuries. This volume is the first comprehensive monograph to explore the complete body of work by one of the most influential figures in contemporary art. Spanning from Barry's formative years in the 1950s to his pivotal contributions to Minimalism and Conceptual Art, this landmark publication offers an unprecedented look at the artist's evolution and legacy. Developed in close collaboration with the artist, the book presents a critical and far- reaching analysis of Barry's work alongside a rich and largely unpublished iconography sourced from international collections and the artist's personal archives. It is an essential resource for scholars, curators, and anyone interested in the radical redefinition of art in the 20th and 21st centuries.
