Definitive monograph on America's most challenging and influential
artist Los-Angeles-based artist Paul McCarthy (b.1945) creates
Disneyesque installations, sculptures of animal/vegetable/human
hybrids and slapstick performances in a purge of a national
subconscious. The psycho-sexual desires and anxieties induced by
the media and the built environment of contemporary America emerge
in his collisions of plastic prosthetic limbs and condiments that
stand in for bodily fluids. These works have been variously
deployed: through live actions, often documented on video, and more
recently in outsized figures and artificial rural environments,
combined in overtly sexual ways. McCarthy's work echoes that of
European artists such as Joseph Beuys or the Viennese Aktionistes,
but gives 'action art' a postmodern twist. This new revised and
expanded edition includes contributions by luminaries such as
Kristine Stiles, Ralph Rugoff, Massimiliano Gioni and Robert Storr.
