Artist Bruce Conner (1933-2008) moved to San Francisco in 1957 and
quickly enmeshed himself in the Bay Area's distinctive cultural
milieu, combining a vision and a multifaceted body of work that
went beyond the limitations of any genre. From early assemblages of
the 1950s and 1960s to iconic and pioneering works in film, from
photography and photograms to prints, drawings, and paintings,
Conner's oeuvre continues to exert tremendous influence on artists
working today. This historic retrospective catalogue will be the
definitive resource on this important artist for decades to come.
Offering a highly anticipated contemporary perspective on Conner,
it will prove revelatory in assessing his output and place in
postwar art. Illustrated in full color throughout, this
comprehensive volume provides access to a range of material that
has never been published, including early paintings from the 1950s
and works from the last decade of Conner's life, along with a trove
of fascinating ephemeral materials. The publication features
original scholarship by a range of luminaries, including essays by
Frieling, Garrels, Stuart Comer, Diedrich Diederichsen, Rachel
Federman, and Laura Hoptman as well as contributions from Michelle
Barger, Kevin Beasley, Dara Birnbaum, Carol Bove, Stan Brakhage,
Will Brown, David Byrne, Johanna Gosse, Roger Griffith, Kellie
Jones, Christian Marclay, Greil Marcus, Michael McClure, Megan
Randall, Henry S. Rosenthal, Dean Smith, and Kristine Stiles.
