Widely recognized and admired in countercultural communities but
overlooked by the mainstream for decades, Anna Banana has been
fearlessly challenging convention as Town Fool and Doktor Anna
Freud, producing parodic publications, creating and exchanging
artist's stamps and other original artworks and staging
banana-themed events that she documents for a network of
like-minded artists around the world. It is this vibrant community
of creative individuals that has both fueled her work and embraced
it, and it is their long history of communicating by
mail--welcoming anyone interested in participating--that has laid
the groundwork for today's social media networks. Anna Banana is a
compelling retrospective of the artist's work and her place in art
history. Michelle Jacques traces Banana's evolution from Anne Long
to conceptual artist Anna Banana and the breadth of her oeuvre.
Craig Saper contemplates the paradox that an artist of her stature
could remain virtually unknown while subverting mainstream art and
culture so relentlessly and so humorously for so long. Anne
Thurmann-Jajes relates the value of the Banana Rag and other
publications in publicizing the artist's actions and maintaining
contact with other artists. And Edward M. Gomez highlights the
importance of Banana's fun, frank and frequently experimental art
in engaging new audiences and bridging the historic anti-art
practices of Dada and Fluxus and today's contemporary practices.
Like the artist herself, this remarkable book will enlighten,
engage and surprise.
