This new interpretation of the structure and meaning of the
Happenings produced by Allan Kaprow (1927-2006) and Claes Oldenburg
(b. 1929) in the late 1950s and 1960s sheds light on the context,
theoretical framework, and working practice unique to this
groundbreaking artistic form. Drawing on extensive archival
research and including never-before-published drawings by
Oldenburg, Robert E. Haywood describes the dialogue - at times
contentious - between these two artists about the direction of the
Happenings and modern art in general. Through a comprehensive
analysis of these often overlooked works, it becomes clear that the
Happenings-born in the midst of Cold War tensions and an increased
uneasiness with the direction society was taking-challenged the
traditional definitions of art in innovative new ways and were a
critical component in the development of the art of the 20th
century.
